• Overview
• Goals
• Methodology
• Analysis
• 2.1 Transports share on environmental pressures
• 2.2 The environmental efficiency of transport
• 2.3 Decomposition of change of the
  transport-related
• environmental pressures
• 2.4 Decomposition of change of freight transport
• performance
• 2.5 Econometric modelling of environmental-economi
  c
• effects of transport

• Goals of the Project
• Sectoral reporting modules deepening
  (disaggregation of existing variables) and
  enhancing (inclusion of new variables) of the
  EEA-standard data-set in order to obtain more
  detailed and integrated accounting data on issues
  that are especially policy relevant.
• Mobility is a important topic of sustainable
  development policy
• There strong interlinkages between transport and
  other SD topics (need for integrated accounting
  data)

• Methodology 1
• - Definition motorised transportation of people
  and freight
• over land and water, and in the air.
• Integration transport data a accounting
  satellite system
• (same concepts, definitions, classifications)
  mainly
• reformatting of existing data
• - Accounting concepts for transport
• Production perspective (who is the produces of
  the
• transport service?) production of transport
  services
• by resident units (homogeneous branches in a
• NAMEA-type breakdown / mode of transport)
• Use perspective (who is the user of the
  transport
• service?) transport of goods for intermediate
  or final
• use (in a NAMEA-type breakdown) on the economic
• territory
• Variables Kilometres driven, passenger and
  freight transport
• performance, transport related energy use,
  transport related air
• emissions, land use (transport area)

Methodology 2 Calculation method (so far only
production perspective) Example road transport
Starting point stock of vehicles in a detailed
breakdown by type and technical classes as well
as by type of owner. The ownership
classification is transformed into the
classification of economic activities
(production branches, private households) of the
national accounts by using various data which
are available in the National Accounts on asset
stocks and burden distributions of mineral oil
tax. Those stock data are the basis for
assigning the flow information on kilometres
covered, transport performance, energy and
emissions to the economic activities.

Decomposition analysis of freight transport
performance The freight transport performance
itself can be depicted as a mathematical product
of five factors Scale effect Change of GDP
at constant prices. Degree of tertiarisation
(service sector share) gross value added of
material production to total production (VAM /
GDP). Factual division of labour in the
material production relationship between total
supply of material goods in monetary units to the
gross value added of material goods production
(TSM/VAM). Degree of refining of the
transported goods total weight of the
transported goods is related to the total supply
of material goods in monetary terms (TONS/TSM).
Spatial differentiation of economic activities
freight transport performance to total freight
volume in tonnes (FTP/TONS). .
