Time series
Besides the OD matrix only aggregate terminal and port figures are needed as can be concluded
from the indicator descriptions. Due to the complexity of the construction of the OD­matrix it is
only possible to develop a base year 2000 OD matrix.
Furthermore we will extract existing material from EUROSTAT describing other freight
demand aggregate variables where a lot of data has already been harmonised. In annex E the
relevant tables from New Cronos for ETIS have been listed.
3.4 Variables required for calculation of supporting indicators that will not be included
in the ETIS reference database
During the test phase of the development of a freight O/D matrix two things have become clear
in relation with the transhipment at inland terminals:
· The required data is not available for inland terminals (this conclusion has already been
drawn in other projects and it also became clear during the data collection in the ETIS
project);
