Methoden voor de berekening van de emissies door mobiele ... - CBS

The vehicle kilometres are devided into kilometres including overnight stay (holidays, business trip)
and kilometres without overnight stay (commuting, shopping, family visits, day trips).
A CBS-survey on acommodations during 1998-2004 has been used to estimate the number of
kilometres with overnight stay. The estimation of kilometres without overnight stay is based on a
German survey into traffic intensity at 9 German-Dutch border-crossings, carried out in 1998 and 2003
and 2008. The years in between have been interpolated and 2008 has been extrapolated. The traffic
performance of foreigners during 1990-1997 has been extrapolated with the use of data from the
Dutch Mobility Survey (OVG) and the ratio between the kilometres by Dutch citizens and foreigners
during 1998-2004.
The vehicle kilometres for vans are based on the odometer readings database (NAP) in combination
with the vehicle characteristics data from the Road Authorities (RDW). To divide the total of vehicle
kilometres for vans by territory, data are used from the Goods Transport Survey, Eurostat, and the
1993 survey of Commercial Vehicles (Bedrijfsvoertuigenenquête). The use of vans is largely regional.
The average trip distance is 32 kilometres. Vans are used by professionals like construction workers,
tradesmen, technicians, catering staff, care staff and for parcel delivery etc. Unlike transporters that
use lorries and road trans, drivers of vans do not make many large trips. However, if they cross the
border it will be often limited to border traffic. This is not only accounts for the use of Dutch vans but
also for foreign vans. Unfortunately there are no data on the kilometres driven with foreign vans on
Dutch territory. We therefore made the assumption that the vehicle kilometres driven by Dutch vans
outside the Netherlands, are more or less equal to those of foreign vans on Dutch territory. From the
Goods Transport Surveys from 1997 to 2008 is derived that the kilometres of Dutch vans on foreign
territory is on average 4 percent of the total kilometres driven. According to the assumption made, the
total kilometres of foreign vehicles driven on Dutch territory will be mirrored
The vehicle kilometres travelled with foreign trucks [ref 23: CBS10] are based on the statistics
concerning "goods transport on the roads 8 " as well as similar data based on Goods Transport Surveys
from other EU countries as collected by Eurostat. The vehicle kilometres travelled with foreign buses
are determined by using a model which is divided into 4 sections. The main sources per section are:
1. Transport by foreign coaches in the Netherland for stays of more than one day (with). The
main source is a CBS tourism survey on accomodation [CBS, 1998-2009] with data concerning
the number of guests, overnight stays and destinations per country of origin. Travelled
distances are calculated with a route planner.
2. Transport by foreign coaches in the Netherlands for day trips (so without overnight stays). The
main sources are a CBS survey on daytrips and ‘UK Travel Trends’.
3. Transport by foreign coaches through the Netherlands (drive through). For this purpose data
have been used from ‘UK Travel Trends’ en the Belgian Travel Survey. In addition to this a
route planner was used to calculate distances from border to border.
4. Transport by foreign buses in the Netherlands as part of regular bus services in the border
regions. For this purpose information has been used from timetables (http://www.grensbus.nl/"
and "http://wiki.ovinnederland.nl). Besides this Google Maps was used for a division of the bus
lines into kilometres inland and abroad.
Also in case of the estimation of foreign coaches in the Netherlands several additional sources from
different countries have been consulted, for instance:
Report “Reiseanalyse Aktuell RA” (Forschungsgemeinschaft Urlaub und Reisen (FUR), 2002-
2010): the percentage of holiday trips by Germans by bus, to the Netherlands, and to Western
Europe, and the total number of holiday trips of 5 days and longer.
Statistics on incoming Tourism (CBS, 2006): The percentage of foreign guests coming to the
Netherlands by bus.
The publication ”Bustransport of passengers” (Eurostat/DG Tren, 1990-2000): for the number
of passenger kilometres per bus or coach per EU country
The publicatie "EU energy and transport in figures; statistical pocketbook 2011" (Eurostat
/EC,1990-2008): traveller kilometres per bus or coach per EU country.
The publication "Statistisches Jahrbuch 2004" (Statistisches Bundesamt, 2004): total number
of trips per bus to the Netherlands.
"Reisonderzoek" (Algemene Directie Statistiek en Economische Informatie, 2000-2009)
Belgium: total number of trips to the Netherlands by bus.
