From 1999 onwards, regional statistics on the carriage of goods have been

collected by Eurostat in the framework of Council Regulation 1172/98 for the

transmission of individual data records on vehicles, journeys and transport

operations. Data for 2004 have been analysed for the first time through

transport modelling, which gives the possibility not only to enrich the available

data, but also to complete these data by estimated values (see

Methodological Notes). Transport modelling is a simulation technique used as

a policy support tool for matters involving traffic. Using these simulation

techniques, existing or expected traffic flows can be calculated and visualised

on road maps.

Highlights

x

‘Transport intensity’ (expressed as the number of departing

journeys per km² of national territory) is by far highest in the

Netherlands, and lowest in the Baltic States, Finland and Sweden.

x

The proportion of international road transport journeys in all

journeys is the highest in the Belgian regions bordering the

Netherlands; several Danish and Austrian regions also have a high

share.

x

The highest number of long-distance road freight transport journeys

(journeys with a length of over 500 km) departed from the

Barcelona

,

Madrid

and

Valencia

region.
