NOTES ON METHODOLOGY

 

Source and methods of data collection

 

Land transport and transport via pipelines, according to the NKD 2002., cover division 60: railway transport, road transport, urban transport and transport via pipelines (transport of oil and gas).

 

Data on railway transport have been collected through the regular Quarterly Report on Railway Transport (PŽ/T-11 form).

 

Data on road transport of passengers have been collected through the Quarterly Report on Road Transport (PA/M-11 form).

 

Data on road transport of goods for hire or reward and for own account have been collected through the weekly Statistical Survey on Road Transport of Goods (PA/T-11 form).

 

Data on urban transport of passengers have been collected through the Quarterly Report on Urban Transport  (PG/T-11 form).

 

Data on transport via pipelines have been collected through the quarterly report on oil pipelines (P-NF/T-11 form) and gas pipelines (P-PL/T-11 form).

 

The methodology for these surveys is based on the Eurostat recommendations

 

Coverage

 

Data on railway transport of passengers and goods refer to the activity of Croatian Railways. Also included is the urban transport of passengers.

 

Data on road transport of passengers relate to activity of business entities (legal entities and natural persons) that are engaged in transport of passengers by buses.

 

Data on road transport of goods for hire or reward and for own account refer to the operation of legal entities and natural persons engaged in the transport of goods. The random sample method is used to carry out this survey. Vehicles selected into the sample are monitored in the period of one week.

 

Statistical units are freight road vehicles (including road tractors) with a loading capacity of over 3 500 kg that are registered with the Ministry of the Interior. Reporting units are business entities (legal entities and natural persons) who own or just use a freight road vehicle selected into the sample.

 

Urban transport of passengers covers organised public transport of passengers conducted by legal entities registered in the Register of Business Entities of Central Bureau of Statistics, which are engaged in urban transport of passengers and are registered in other activities.

 

Data on transport via pipelines relate to the activities of legal entities engaged in transport of oil and gas via pipelines.

 

Definitions

 

Passenger is any person who makes journey by a road or railway vehicle, excluding service staff assigned to buses, trams and freight vehicles.

 

Goods are any goods moved by railway or road goods vehicles. This includes all packaging and equipment such as containers, swap-bodies or pallets.

 

Domestic transport is a transport of passengers and goods between a place of loading and a place of unloading inside our country borders.

 

International transport is a transport of passengers and goods between a place of loading in our country and a place of unloading abroad and vice versa, and a transport between two places abroad. International transport of goods is divided to export, import, transit (with transhipment and without transhipment) and cross-trade transport.

 

Export implies transport of goods loaded inside of our country borders, and unloaded in a foreign country.

 

Import implies transport of goods, loaded in a foreign country, and unloaded inside our country borders. Final destination of these goods is Croatia.

 

Transit without of transhipment implies transport of goods that are loaded or unloaded in a foreign country, which touches the Croatian territory during the transport.

 

Transit with transhipment implies transport of goods that are loaded or unloaded in a foreign country with transhipment in Croatia.

 

Cross-trade road transport implies international transport of goods performed by domestic operators with a place of loading and unloading being located in a foreign country.

 

Passenger kilometre is a unit of measure representing transport of one person over a distance of one kilometre.

 

Tonne kilometre is a unit of measure representing transport of one tonne of goods over a distance of one kilometre.
