The second one encompassed the execution by the IDEA II project team of direct survey on road conditions for Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova and road traffic counts in Belarus and Armenia. Both approaches are described in the sections below. 1.1.1. INDICATORS Data collection encompassed a first preparatory stage performed by the IDEA II project team which covered the identification of key infrastructure and traffic flows indicators to be collected for each transport mode. The list of indicators to be collected for rails and roads belonging to the EaP strategic network was developed following the indications received from DG MOVE and refined on the basis of indicators used by TEN-Tec. The final list of indicators, further refined on March 2015 according to the request of DG MOVE, is reported below. Table 1 - List of railways indicators Indicator Unit of measurement / Coding Status Existing / planned / under construction / to be upgraded Length Km Number of tracks Number Activity Passengers / freight / both Traction Electrified / Diesel Design speed km/h Max operating speed km/h Max axle load kN Maximum train length m Maximum inclination ‰ net tons per year Freight traffic flow trains per day Passenger traffic flow pass per year trains per day Table 2 - List of road indicators Indicator Unit of measurement / Coding National name Name European route name Name Status Existing / planned / under construction / to be upgraded Type of road Single carriageway / expressway / motorway with separated lanes Length Km Lanes numbers Design speed km/h Condition of the road high/medium/poor Eastern Partnership regional transport study June 2015 Annex I – Data Collection P a g e | 4 Indicator Unit of measurement / Coding Freight traffic flow trucks per day Passenger traffic flow cars per day The indicator “Condition of the road” takes into account on surface design and maintenance status, whereas: High: Adequate surface condition with no hazard to traffic flow Medium: Acceptable condition, no immediate action is required as shown in the picture Poor: The road surface condition may pose risk to traffic flow and increased safety hazard. 1.1.2. DATA COVERAGE This section presents an overview of data coverage of indicators for countries and transport modes. The overview tables reported below represent the percentage (expressed in terms of length of EaP network to be covered) of data coverage of each indicator at country level. In green are indicated those situations where coverage is higher than 70%; in yellow the situations where the coverage is between 50% and 70%; in red all those situations where either data coverage is below 50% or no data has been provided or collected. Armenia and Belarus, where more problems were encountered in the data collection, are handled at the end of the section in dedicated tables. 1) AZERBAIJAN – GEORGIA – MOLDOVA - UKRAINE Table 3 – EaP road network - Data availability overview INFRASTRUCTURE TRAFFIC FLOWS № COUNTRY NAME National Name National Status Type Lanes (km/h) speed Design ofCondition the road flowtraffic Freight (trucks day) per Passenger flowtraffic (cars per day) 2 Azerbaijan 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 73% 73% 4 Georgia 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 79%* 79%* 5 Moldova 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 75%* 75%* 6 Ukraine 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 99% 77% 0% GOOD DATA COVERAGE MEDIUM DATA COVERAGE NO DATA PROVIDED OR INSUFFICIENT DATA COVERAGE * Harmonised data Eastern Partnership regional transport study June 2015 Annex I – Data Collection P a g e | 5 Table 4 – EaP rail network - Data availability overview INFRASTRUCTURE TRAFFIC FLOWS Status oftracksNumber Activity Traction speed (km/h) Design Maxoperatingspeed (km/h) Maxaxle load (kN) Maximum train length (m) Maximuminclination (%) (tons flowtraffic Freight peryear) traffic Freight flow per (trainsday) flow Passenger traffic year) (pax per flowPassenger traffic (trainsday) per 2 Azerbaijan 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100%* 100%* 100%* 100%* 4 Georgia 100% 100% 100% 100% 76% 76% 76% 76% 76% 76% 76% 15% 15%* 5 Moldova 100% 100% 100% 100% 0% 45% 100% 80% 100% 80% 80%* 84% 84%* 6 Ukraine 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 0% 95% 0% 95% 0% 95% GOOD DATA COVERAGE MEDIUM DATA COVERAGE NO DATA PROVIDED OR INSUFFICIENT DATA COVERAGE * Harmonised data 2) ARMENIA - BELARUS Table 5 – EaP road network - Data availability overview Road Links - Data availability Overview INFRASTRUCTURE TRAFFIC FLOWS № COUNTRY NAME National Name National Status Type Lanes (km/h) speed Design ofCondition the road flowtraffic Freight (trucks day) per Passenger flowtraffic (cars per day) 1 Armenia 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 93% 93% 3 Belarus 100% 100% 85% 100% 100% 100% 19% 19% GOOD DATA COVERAGE MEDIUM DATA COVERAGE NO DATA PROVIDED OR INSUFFICIENT DATA COVERAGE Direct surveys on road conditions and traffic counts performed by IDEA II project improved data availability in Armenia and Belarus.
