Why international comparison of statistics?
• Is comparison necessary? Yes
But why?
• For benchmarking
• To learn of each other
• To exchange knowledge about safety measures
• To cooperate international to develop together knowledge how to improve quality of life.
But also
• the possibility to get international insight in total volumes
• To develop international measures, for instance vehicle safety.
The base is formed with good statistics

Transport Outlook 2011: Meeting the needs of 9 billion people
International Transport Forum
May 2011
The world’s population will reach 9 billion by 2050. Meeting their transport demands will be challenging. As both population and incomes rise, global passenger mobility and global freight transport volumes may triple by 2050. The International Transport Forum’s 2011 Outlook examines these trends, exploring the factors that may drive demand even higher and the limits imposed by infrastructure capacity, fuel prices and policies to accommodate or limit potentially explosive growth of car use in rapidly developing countries.
The Outlook traces scenarios for emissions of CO2 from transport and the impact of policies to improve the fuel economy of conventional vehicles and promote the use of electric cars, including implications for fuel tax revenues. Trends in passenger car traffic are given particular attention, examining evidence for saturation of demand in high income countries.
The report also focuses on future directions for trade, as suggested by trends in the current economic recovery. A global rebalancing in the wake of the financial crisis may already be over, with trade returning to pre-crisis patterns ahead of any longer term restructuring for economic sustainability.

A note on the relationship between obesity and driving
Sheldon H. Jacobson, Douglas M. King, Rong Yuan
Transport Policy
Junio 2011
Vehicle travel and obesity rates in the United States have surged in recent decades. This paper contributes to the mounting evidence of a link between them by drawing attention to a very close relationship between trends in miles driven per licensed driver and adult obesity rates six years later. It also presents evidence on why the effect might be expected to be lagged by six years. A simple model is produced, which predicts reductions in obesity rates over the next few years. If these reductions come about, the model will be seen to offer a powerful insight into the relationship between driving and obesity. If the relationship is more than coincidental, it has implications for transport policy and supports the development of a multi-pronged, interdisciplinary approach to tackle increased driving and obesity.

Illustrated glossary for transport statistics
International Transport Forum
4th edition
July 2009
The Glossary for Transport Statistics was published for the first time in 1994 with the purpose of assisting member countries during the collection of data on transport using the Common Questionnaire developed by the UNECE, ITF and Eurostat.
The present fourth edition is the result of continuing valuable cooperation between the three organisations, that – through the action of the Intersecretariat Working Group (IWG. Trans.) – has put a sustained effort into meeting the need to harmonise transport statistics at the international level. The Glossary now comprises 735 definitions and represents a point of reference for all those involved in transport statistics.
By following the guidance contained within these definitions, a considerable contribution will be given to the improvement in both the quality and comparability of the data.

Urban mobility report 2009
Texas Transportation Institute
July 2009
Congestion is a problem in America’s 439 urban areas, and it has gotten worse in regions of all sizes. In 2007, congestion caused urban Americans to travel 4.2 billion hours more and to purchase an extra 2.8 billion gallons of fuel for a congestion cost of $87.2 billion – an increase of more than 50% over the previous decade (Exhibit 1). This was a decrease of 40 million hours and a decrease of 40 million gallons, but an increase of over $100 million from 2006 due to an increase in the cost of fuel and truck delay. Small traffic volume declines brought on by increases in fuel prices over the last half of 2007 caused a small reduction in congestion from 2006 to 2007.
There are many congestion problems but there are also many solutions. The most effective strategy is one where agency actions are complemented by efforts of businesses, manufacturers, commuters and travelers. The best approach to selecting strategies is to identify projects, programs and policies that solve problems or capitalize on opportunities. The strategies must address the issue that the problems are not the same in every region or on every day – the variation in travel time is often as frustrating and costly as the regular “daily slog” through traffic jams. The 2009 Urban Mobility Report clearly demonstrates that all the solutions are not being implemented fast enough.

Global status report on road safety: Time for action
WHO
June 2009
Approximately 1.3 million people die each year on the world's roads, and between 20 and 50 million sustain non-fatal injuries. The Global status report on road safety is the first broad assessment of the road safety situation in 178 countries, using data drawn from a standardized survey. The results show that road traffic injuries remain an important public health problem, particularly for low-income and middle-income countries. Pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists make up almost half of those killed on the roads, highlighting the need for these road users to be given more attention in road safety programmes. The results suggest that in many countries road safety laws need to be made more comprehensive while enforcement should be strengthened. The Global status report on road safety results clearly show that significantly more action is needed to make the world's roads safer.

Annual Report 2008
Global Road Safety Partnership
May 2008
The Global Road Safety Partnership (GRSP) brings together governments and governmental agencies, the private sector and civil society organisations to address
road safety issues, focusing on low and middle-income countries. GRSP is a hosted programme of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), based in Geneva, Switzerland. Traditionally, road crashes have been seen as a
problem for the transport sector. However, the direct costs of the growing number of crashes falls mostly on the health sector, businesses and families. Today it is widely acknowledged that many sectors have a role to play in the prevention of crashes, deaths and injuries. GRSP brings together these sectors at the global, national and local government level in order to help create sustainable partnerships and implement effective road safety programmes. GRSP shares knowledge, provides advice on good practice, and facilitates and implements projects in a growing number of countries.

Análisis gravitacional de la movilidad de pasajeros en la red de transporte aéreo doméstico en México
Instituto Mexicano del Transporte
Publicación Técnica 320
Junio 2009
Se presentan los resultados de una investigación cuyo objetivo general ha sido realizar un análisis gravitacional de la movilidad de los pasajeros que utilizan los servicios regulares de transporte aéreo en el espacio geográfico mexicano. Se ha empleado un modelo de regresión lineal múltiple con estructura gravitacional, pero adaptado para ser calibrado a partir de datos empíricos, mediante la técnica de los mínimos cuadrados. La calidad estadística de los parámetros de la función de regresión se ha verificado mediante las pruebas de hipótesis convencionales. Los indicadores de desempeño del modelo de regresión múltiple y los resultados de la evaluación paramétrica, permiten concluir que los viajes generados en los orígenes, y los viajes atraídos por los destinos, son variables con un alto potencial para explicar la intensidad de flujo de pasajeros en los corredores de transporte; no así la distancia euclidiana que los separa. Los resultados de la investigación respecto al comportamiento estadístico de la variable distancia, coinciden plenamente con los obtenidos en estudios previos sobre transporte aéreo de carga y permiten concluir que la independencia entre la intensidad de flujo de transporte y la distancia física que separa a los orígenes y destinos de los movimientos, es una característica propia de este modo de transporte, al menos en México.

Rail Time Indicators: A Review of Key Economic Trends
Association of American Railroads
April 2009
Did you know that ...
*The decline in the value of the dollar in 2007 and 2008 was a major reason for a surge in U.S. grain and coal exports (much of them carried by rail) in those years. If the dollar continues to strengthen, U.S. exports are sure to be affected.
*Housing starts in March 2009 were down 11% from February 2009 to 510,000 on an annualized basis, the second-lowest level (behind January 2009) since record keeping began in 1959.
*Total retail sales in March 2009 were down 1.1% from February 2009, down 9.4% from March 2008, and about equal to the level of October 2005. March’s decline followed increases in January and February. Many economists had expected an increase in March, making March’s decline somewhat of a surprise.
These facts and more are provided in a new monthly publication, Rail Time Indicators, from the Association of American Railroads (AAR). Rail Time Indicators provides rail data in the context of broader economic data. Rail indicators are often cited as a key measure of a healthy economy. Current data on more than a dozen key economic indicators including employment, housing starts and vehicle sales is discussed in the report which will be issued monthly by the AAR.
“Our goal is to provide our members and others with a non-technical, all-in-one-place snapshot of the economy and rail traffic to help them understand the broader economic forces at work,” explained AAR Senior Vice President John Gray.
