Ken Moore, Transport Statistics, CSO
CSO Business Statistics Seminar - 11 November, 2009
Background
Statistician in area of Transport for 5 years
Main responsibilities:
•Aviation Statistics•Maritime Statistics•Rail Statistics•Transport Omnibus•Road Vehicle Kilometres – working on this project for last six months
CSO Business Statistics Seminar - 11 November, 2009
Overview – What will be covered
•Drivers – Uses of Vehicle Kilometres data
•Data Sources
•Results
•Future Developments and Considerations
CSO Business Statistics Seminar - 11 November, 2009
Vehicle Kilometres – Definition:
•Standard Unit of measurement representing the movement of a vehicle over 1km
Drivers - Why data on Vehicle Kilometres Travelled (VKT) is needed?
•Transport Policy and Planning•Fuel Consumption•Emissions from Road Transport •Road Safety Policy•Eurostat requirement – harmonised data collection
CSO Business Statistics Seminar - 11 November, 2009
Main Methods used internationally for calculation of VKT
• Traffic Counts – automatic and manual• Household Surveys• Fuel Consumption• Odometer Readings (Method adopted by Ireland)
Odometer readings provide the distance travelled by a tested vehicle in a specific period which is converted into kilometres travelled per day
CSO Business Statistics Seminar - 11 November, 2009

Issues Encountered
•No unit of measurement recorded prior to 2007 for NCT data - had to determine if miles or km
•Number of records exist where odometer reading has dropped since last inspection
•Limited data available for new vehicles which fall within remit of NCT (less than 4 years of age) and for certain vehicle types (e.g. motorcycles)
CSO Business Statistics Seminar - 11 November, 2009 21
Future Considerations
•No data on VKT for foreign registered vehicles travelling in Ireland
•Unsure of what proportion of VKT is attributable to travel within or outside Ireland
•Possible use of results from pilot Household Travel Survey to determine VKT by age, gender, time of day, purpose of journey etc. while also estimating passenger kilometres for Private Car Fleet using data on car occupancy rates
•Harmonised data available in future from Eurostat for international comparisons
•Greater coverage needed for vehicle classes not falling within remit of NCT and CVT programmes
