MODAL SPLIT OF FREIGHT TRAFFIC FLOWS IN THE GFR IN 1985

MODALSPLIT DER VERFLECHTUNG DES GUETERVERKEHRS IN DER BUNDESREPUBLIK DEUTSCHLAND 1985

The purpose of the exercise was to determine the modal split (rail, road and waterways) of estimated traffic for 1985. In the model used, the first step involved calculating the overall traffic volume over a route, followed by an estimation of the percentages for the three modes concerned. It was a matter of apportioning the forecast tonnage: by groups of goods; by traffic flows between 50 internal traffic zones and 13 foreign zones; by transport mode. In the results the authors analyse more particularly the reasons behind the relative drop (45-40% in 1985) in the DB share.
