ETISplus

European Transport policy Information System: development and implementation of a data collection methodology for EU transport modelling

ETISplus is a research project in the 7th Framework Programme. It builds upon the strengths of the previous ETIS database project (2005) and addresses the lessons learnt. The Commission's objectives have not chenged. Still, the frameworks need more emphasis, i.e. the knowledge management process and institutional arrangements. This is a requisite for the successful implementation of the ETISplus knowledge base.

The main objectives of the project are:

  • To develop a framework for the collection and dissemination of data and network information related to transport including:
    • the use of new data collection methods
    • the use of efficient, cost-effective methods in cases where gaps in data collection currently exist
    • the use of a dedicated IPR free dissemination and retrieval tool
  • To provide a central repository to be used by transport support policy tools at EU level
  • To implement and validate a database, updating and extending the ETIS database both geographically and by adding additional variables, adding new reference years 2005 and 2008 and including the newest member states and neighbouring countries in more detail
  • To establish a communication between all stakeholders
  • To prepare guidelines and structures for future updates and management

In this project, TML will participate in the following tasks:

  • Innovative data collection concepts: the use of ITS
  • Design of the database, concerning especially the vehicle stocks and external impacts of transport
  • Data compilation on transport demand determining factors, level of service and external impact indicators
  • Data construction: freight and logistics
  • Methodologies for data screening, validation, and evaluation
  • Communication and dissemination
