Introduction

• Background
• Expected outcome
• Future

3
Background

• Transport modelling is essential to policy
  assessment and development
• Transport models require recent, reliable and
  harmonised data
• Current data situation is characterised by
• Fragmentation of data sources
• Missing data
• Lack of harmonisation
• Duplication of data collections
• Difficulty of access and use of data

4
Expected outcome

• One single database containing the most recent
  transport related data for the EU and for main
  links with other world regions
• Improved data quality, detail and availability
  according to users needs
• Existing EU transport models should be able to
  benefit from the data
• Other data influencing transport activities
  should also be collected (e.g. socio-economic,
  mobility patterns,, prices, taxes )
• Data for validation of modelling results should
  collected
• Validation by relevant stakeholders of approach
  and of data
