(RED) that was sent to the national experts of all EU member states plus
Norway. The present report can be seen as a first classification of the EU
member states on RED availability, compatibility and usability. On the basis
of these results, a clear distinction can be made between indicators that are at
least generally available in Europe and indicators that are not generally
available. There is a relation between availability and the level of complexity of
the indicators. Basic indicators are more generally available than more complex
ones.
The most widely available indicators are population, vehicle fleet, road length,
fuel consumption, driver kilometres and vehicle kilometres. The less available
indicators are: person kilometres, number of trips and time in traffic.
Based on examination of compatibility with CARE, five of the six generally
available indicators are regarded as compatible with CARE. The only indicator
that is not regarded as compatible with CARE is "fuel consumption". The main
reason is that transport use can not be distinguished in the data collected in
many countries. The other five indicators: population, driver population, vehicle
fleet, road length and vehicle kilometres are regarded as compatible with
CARE, or at least partially compatible.
These five indicators are thus regarded as usable. The other indicators are
less than partially available or not compatible with the CARE data. However,
this does not mean that these indicators are useless. They can still provide
valuable information on national or small-scale international level. For European
wide comparison these indicators are not (yet) suitable for usage in the
common framework.
The five currently usable indicators are: Population road length
Vehicle fleet
Driver population
Vehicle kilometres
