Institute for Economic Policy Research (IWW) Network Economics 12 Eckhard SzimbaETISPlus Road Data Workshop ETISplus: Road networks, impedances & link load data For modelling purposes, data mainly required at the level of O/D relations ( NUTS-3  NUTS-3 regions) Main impedance data: travel time; travel distance; user costs (fuel costs, road charges) ‘Observed data’ rarely available: => computation of impedance data under application of models Road impedance data – general items

Institute for Economic Policy Research (IWW) Network Economics 13 Eckhard SzimbaETISPlus Road Data Workshop ETISplus: Road networks, impedances & link load data Two types of demand data: Demand at the level of O/D relations Demand at the level of network links Demand at the level of O/D relations: to be estimated, since almost no observed data available Demand at the level of network links: partly collected, partly modelled Road demand data

Institute for Economic Policy Research (IWW) Network Economics 19 Eckhard SzimbaETISPlus Road Data Workshop ETISplus: Road networks, impedances & link load data Data on long-distance coach services Mapping of most relevant scheduled long-distance coach services Demand at the level of O/D relations, based on level-of-service data Data on fares per country

Institute for Economic Policy Research (IWW) Network Economics 20 Eckhard SzimbaETISPlus Road Data Workshop ETISplus: Road networks, impedances & link load data Conclusions Very few ‘observed’ data are available at the level of O/D relations (demand, supply) => requirement to model data The use of manifold different road network models for different purposes, such as Network model A, used for modelling within TRANS-TOOLS; Network model B, used for collecting infrastructure-related data for TEN-Tec; Network model C, used for collecting traffic count data by UN/ ECE, Network model D, used for collecting traffic count data in country D, … imposes relevant efficiency restrictions for transport modellers

Institute for Economic Policy Research (IWW) Network Economics 21 Eckhard SzimbaETISPlus Road Data Workshop ETISplus: Road networks, impedances & link load data Conclusions [continued] Several of the data gaps within TRANS-TOOLS will be bridged by ETISplus ETISplus will clearly enhance the technical capabilities of TRANS- TOOLS, e.g. in terms of Extension of the geographical scope of data availability Enhanced status of quality of network model (topology, attributes, link alignment) Inclusion of freight terminals Enhanced status of level-of-service and demand data for long-distance coach transport Refinement of traffic count data
