Abstract

This chapter addresses the topic of urban freight data collection. Survey work was carried out with experts in eleven European countries to describe and compare urban freight transport data collection efforts to better understand what currently takes place and to identify examples of good practice. The extent of urban freight data collection varies significantly between the European countries surveyed. Much of the existing urban freight data comes from the disaggregation of national survey results. The chapter identifies the most commonly identified gaps in data collection, as well as the need for greater standardisation in data collection methods and in analysis and reporting of this data.

Footnotes
1
This is the case of vehicle operator surveys carried out to meet the requirements of the EU Directive on Freight Statistics or German Commercial Transport Surveys, made at regional level.
 
2
This is the case of French Loader’s surveys (ECHO), whose urban flows are difficult to be identified and analysed (Dablanc and Routhier 2009).
 
3
For a given urban area and in terms of urban goods flows.
 
4
Such data are collected via personal trip surveys and traffic counts, which are not adapted to urban goods movement characterisation.
