The TRACCS project, led by the European Commission (DG Clima) from January 2012 to December 2013, focused on collecting and analyzing transport data to inform climate change mitigation strategies. Key partners include Emisia (GR), INFRAS (CH), and IVL (SE), covering various transport modes such as road, air, rail, and waterborne. The project aimed to develop consistent data matrices and relevant indicators for GHG and air pollutant emission modeling, supporting environmental policy decisions affecting climate change.

TRACCS: TRansport data collection supporting the quantitative Analysis of measures relating to transport and Climate ChangeEuropean Commission (DG Clima) projectJan. 2012 – Dec. 2013 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
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 we expect from you • Your close collaboration • Your contribution with available national data to the best possible degree (.mdb, .xls, etc.) • National reports and other relevant sources • Correspond to our invitation letter (by June 30)
