Strategies / Objectives

• Enable an international comparison of road statistics among the countries on the same definition and requirements.
• Provide statistical data as well as the outcome of their analysis for road administrations of member countries who conduct quantitative research on and make an objective assessment of actions based on such data analysis when formulating the road policies and measures.
• Select international Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that represent the quality of road and road transport (some important attributes possessed) in each country and can offer enough comparability and consistency with clear definitions. Further, KPIs in wider areas hopefully become the global standard of measurement for road and road transport.
• Make a comprehensive, comparative and statistical analysis of data combined with some kinds of primary figures in each member country (population, surface area, GNI,…)
• Create a Data Book which will provide members countries with accurate, reliable and extensive dataset accompanied by results from comprehensive, comparative and statistical analyses of data gathered. All data items of this report are clearly defined and internationally comparable.
• Allow for possibility of collaboration with the other international roads statistics.
• Take into account what is determined and specified in the PIARC Data book of Road and Road Transport (2014-2018).
• Encourage coordination with Technical Committees of PIARC to collect and analyze more data of wider technical areas.
