Pathway to ETIS Ming Chen
A long path to ETIS • 1997 and before • Regular concertation meetings with Member States, experts invited • First state of the art in Third Framework Research Programme • Various attempts to build European databases: • ECIS, European Centre for Infrastructure Studies • EST, Environmentally Sustainable Transport (OECD) • TERM, Transport and Environment Reporting Mechanism (EEA)
INFOSTAT study, ETIS introduced • From 1997 INFOSTAT project, an expert concertation to fix the concepts of an European information system • Attempts to build databases in that time: • EMMA (maritime motorways) • Certain Freight flows (aggregated time-series) • INFREDAT (methodology for collecting intermodal freight transport data) • Development of intermodal transport statistics (EUROSTAT) • MYSTIC (shippers surveys data) • Scenes (input/output related transport flows)
Why ETIS • Each study own database • Consistency not achieved • > results not comparable • Resources spent not effectively • Need for instrument to answer policy requests • European dimension of transport
ETIS TRANS-TOOLS Data, Models, Assumptions and Comparability of results Base year data (regions, commodities, etc) Scenarios Other assumptions Models (parameters, type of model) Results
1998 – 2001; preparatory investigations • 1998 CONCERTO, a Member States concertation • 1999 (pilot) information system, ATIS, applied to the Alpine area • 2000 demonstration of the feasibility of ATIS: test on Mont Blanc tunnel, effects of closure Gothard tunnel • 2001 ALP-NET concertation related to traffic problems in the Alps • 2001 THINK-UP concertation network for understanding mobility predictions
2002, ETIS pilot starts • From 2002 up to 2005 development of the pilot for ETIS European Transport policy Information System (ETIS-BASE, ETIS-LINK, ETIS-AGENT) • The result of a wide concertation between experts, Member States, Commission, their support has been crucial
The relationship to EUROSTAT • ETIS does not replace EUROSTAT but builds on its work • There was a close cooperation between ETIS project partners and EUROSTAT • The objectives of building an ETIS like tool were not realisable within EUROSTAT • ETIS includes data not included in the EUTOSTAT data sets (more data from national data providers, or data from other data providers)
