Nicola Fisher & Naomi McLaughlin DRD NI Data Availability and Comparability by Sector in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland Document existing freight movement data sources Analysis of existing freight data sources –NI & ROI Main sources- CSO (ROI), DfT (GB) and NISRA Data requested from each organisation - data related to NI - data related to ROI - data related to both NI and ROI Document existing freight movement data sources Data Sources document drawn up by mode - Organisations (data providers) - Data Source - Data Summary Description - Collation Method (census, admin system) - Geographical coverage - Publication frequency - Published metadata Assess North-South data comparability and highlight significant issues Comparability table by mode created: - availability of data (except rail) for NI & ROI - comparability of data - reason data aren’t comparable - potential for comparability in future Produce a report on findings and include key comparable data Report by sector has been produced detailing - availability, data issues, North- South comparability and potential information gaps Road Freight EU legislation 1172/98 on statistical returns in respect of the carriage of goods by road. Should ensure comparability between EU nations. Gathering detailed European statistics on road freight transport and harmonising them has been the challenge of the Council Regulation 1172/98. Main Sources of Data for Road Freight Department of Transport (UK) ‘Continuing Survey of Road Goods Transport (NI), CSRGT(NI) CSO ‘National Survey of Transport of Goods by Road’ Administration Systems in both Jurisdictions (DVANI, National Vehicle Driver File (ROI)) Data Issues for Road Freight Vehicle weight threshold CSRGT(NI) defines freight as having Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) of > 3.5 tonnes CSO defines freight as having an unladen weight of > 2 tonnes No impact on freight definition but comparison not possible by vehicle type and weight Data Availability & Comparability Trends in Road Freight Data Road Freight Activity in NI & ROI by vehicles registered in NI, ROI & GB, 2004 – 2009 Data Gaps Activities of Foreign Trucks How long do they stay? What are they carrying? Nationality of Vehicles and Drivers? Cabotage undertaken? Tonnes lifted / tonnes km / Vehicle km Data Gaps Continued Extent of LGV/ Van Freight in Ireland Large amount of goods being transported by small vans & lorries. Significant increase in the number of LGV’s since 2005 in NI No data on what they are carrying Van Activity Baseline
