Estimation of marine transport performance based on harmonised datasets

The production and analysis of transport statistics is an integral aspect of transport system management and monitoring. Updated and automated methods of generating statistics significantly improve the planning and execution of national transport policy. As part of the TransStat project, the authors developed a system of producing statistics describing transport performance, i.e. the carriage of cargo and passengers by sea, using harmonised sets of statistic data. The study presents the method of automatic estimation of transport performance related to cargo and passengers carried by sea, and statistics based on registered validation data. The TransStat project is financed by the National Centre for Research and Development in the framework of the GospoStrateg programme, Agreement No Gospostrateg 1/383385/12/NCBR/2018.
