The TRACCS project, funded by the European Commission (DG CLIMA), focuses on collecting and analyzing transport data to assess GHG and air pollutant emissions associated with transport modes. This initiative ran from January 2012 to December 2013, encompassing road, rail, aviation, and waterborne transport, along with non-motorized transport. The project's objectives include the creation of comprehensive data matrices and relevant indicators to aid environmental policymaking and address climate change impacts. Ongoing collaboration with national data providers is essential for filling existing data gaps.

TRACCS: TRansport data collection supporting the quantitative Analysis of measures relating to transport and Climate ChangeEuropean Commission (DG Clima) projectJan. 2012 – Dec. 2013 Bern, May 2012
Team and Key Responsibilities • Emisia (GR) • Co-ordination • Road and non-motorized transport • INFRAS (CH) • Aviation and rail • CH, AT, DE and HBEFA data for road • IVL (SE) • Waterborne transport • Data for Sweden/Nordic countries
Key Project Objectives • Transport Data Collection (stock, activity, economic) • Produce multi-dimensional consistent data matrices • Produce relevant indicators to summarize results • Why? • GHG, air pollutant emission modeling • Environmental policy, impact on climate change
Project Structure • Task 1: Road passenger transport • Task 2: Road freight transport • Task 3: Airborne transport • Task 4: Rail transport • Task 5: Waterborne transport • Task 6: Non-motorized transport • Task 7: Peer review of data
General Approach for Tasks 1-6 • Data collection • Identification of sources and contacts • Similar projects, existing models, new data • Data streamlining • QA/QC procedures • Visual check, gap filling, error correction, reconciliation module, time series analysis • Data presentation • Description of final dataset • Consistent matrices, relevant indicators
Current status • Month 5 of project • Main current activity: Data collection
Data Collection Specifics • Temporal • Annual time-series, from 2005-2010 • Existing data for earlier years • Pre-1990 not to be considered • Spatial • EU27 • As much as possible candidates (Croatia, FYROM, Iceland, Turkey, Norway, Switzerland)
Description of road transport dataset Vehicle Classification according to main criteria • Age distribution of vehicles. • Ownership of passenger cars (corporate, self-employed professional, private). Additionally:
Description of road transport dataset Data Required
What has been collected so far? • Publicavailable data from: • Eurostat(stock of vehicles, new registrations, traffic, activity data, other) • ACEA(new registrations) • ACEM(stock and new registrations) • ANFAC European Motor Vehicle Parc(vehicles in use, de-registrations, other) • Car price reports by EC • Main problems: • Major gaps (countries, years, etc.) • Different formats, classification/categorization
Next step • Collection of national data • Main source: National statistics web sites • Time-consuming process • Difficult to “discover” the appropriate data • Various data formats (.pdf, .xls, .mdb, etc.)
What we need from countries • Close collaboration with specific persons • Contribution with available national data to the best possible degree (.xls preferred, .mdb, etc.) • National reports and other relevant sources • Correspond to our invitation letter (by June 30)
