Motor Vehicle Traffic in Germany 2002

The survey helps to draw an overall picture of road traffic in Germany. The results of the survey are supposed to support politics and administration in aligning their investment planning stronger with the actual need. Only with the awareness of the actual demand, the limited investment funds can be used with a maximum benefit. The commercial transport shows a large share of traffic on weekdays. However, in the area of commercial transport, necessary data for demand-oriented transport planning is available only on a very small scale. Empirically ensured parameters for traffic volume, choice of mode of transportation, trip chains etc. are lacking especially for motor vehicle traffic up to 3.5 tons of cargo. Therefore a relatively large share of motor vehicles of this category is included in the survey. A special focus is put on surveying traffic with "small" commercial vehicles, i.e. particularly passenger cars of commercial owners as well as motor trucks up to 3.5 tons of cargo. For drawing an overall picture of the commercial traffic on German roads, the other vehicle types like private cars - that are also used for official and commercial purposes to a high degree - and big motor trucks were included in the survey, too. Survey period: November 2001 to October 2002.
