1 ANNEX I – DATA COLLECTION

1.1 APPROACH Data collection for the EaP regional transport study was based on two main approaches:  The first one encompassed the active involvement of the IDEA country experts and EaP Transport Panel experts.  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.

2 DATA COLLECTED THROUGH NATIONAL ADMINISTRATIONS AND OFFICIAL SOURCES

The involvement of the IDEA country experts and EaP Transport Panel experts (first approach) was structured along the following activities:  Establishing contact with TEN-Tec for receiving EaP transport network GIS files (shapefiles) and for assuring compatibility with indicators attributes;  Since received TEN TEC shapefiles didn’t include inland waterways, producing shapefiles representing the EaP inland waterway network and ports (according to the map received from the Commission);  On the basis of received TEN Tec shapefile, coding of network links to be collected and preparing of country maps with sections ID for road and rail;  Preparing excel templates for indicators collection and circulation to the country experts together with country maps;  Holding the TRACECA experts group meeting on 17-18 December 2014. Data collection approach was presented, official letters were sent to the Ministries along with the templates (in English and Russian). Submission dates were foreseen end of January 2015;  Follow up with country experts after the meeting;  Second round of data verification in February 2015;  Direct contact with Armenia during IGC meeting in Istanbul 27 January 2015;  Contact to Northern Dimension secretariat in February 2015;  Second Expert Group model base year workshop on 17-18 March 2015;  Expert group on inland waterways on 21 April 2015;  Data mining of IDEA II experts and where possible, filling of data gaps for key infrastructure indicators by using public sources. Despite the efforts posed, the cooperation level of the various national administrations was quite diverse: as an example, data collection for Armenia and Belarus revealed to be very problematic. Where possible, data gaps for key infrastructure indicators were filled in by the IDEA II project team using public sources and, in some cases, direct surveys. As far as concerns data quality, infrastructure data collected for Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia and Azerbaijan are to be considered of overall good quality since they have been generally provided by the national administrations; only in some cases minor additional investigations were performed by the project team in fulfilling missing information. Problems of poor quality data applied only on some traffic flows information received by the national administrations and are mainly related to the misinterpretation of measurement units. These inconsistencies were either clarified by country experts or solved by the project team.

Data received from Armenia was not adequate to respond to the level of detail required by the study and was integrated by the project team by exploiting additional sources (i.e. Open Street Map, Google Map, Google Heart, TRACECA model). The same sources were used to collect infrastructure data in Belarus. Additional sources were used by IDEA II team to improve the link lengths data in Ukraine, as listed below. http://www.biblos.in/forLife/railwaymap_ua.php http://railway.lviv.ua/info/maps/ http://uyristkonsult.at.ua/foto2/pzz_mapa.png Eastern Partnership regional transport study June 2015 Annex I – Data Collection P a g e | 18

3 DATA COLLECTED THROUGH DIRECT ROAD SURVEYS

The quality of road is an important indicator for the assessment of the characteristics of the infrastructure network in EaP countries. In order to improve data collection, dedicated surveys were planned to be performed on EaP main roads in Ukraine, Belarus and Armenia. Road survey covered the road surface inspection and cross section characteristics (no of lanes / speed). The experts marked the sections where the characteristics change and document the cross section and the road surface with pictures. At the end of the surveys, this information was included into the GIS maps and info-graphics accordingly.

3.1 UKRAINE

3.1.1. SURVEY ON ROAD QUALITY The survey of Ukrainian roads was documented by about 150 forms containing geographic coordinates (longitude and latitude), key information on the road infrastructure and a picture. Some examples of survey forms are reported below.

NUMBER 780 LOCATION Kiev---->Uman Route: M05/ Date: 26/03/2015 14:27 E 30.322848 N 50.261537 Results Lanes 2 per direction Speed (max) 90 Condition poor

Results of the survey were transmitted to the IDEA II database expert for their inclusion into the GIS and info-graphics. All the surveyed sections have been georeferenced and the GIS layer on road condition status has been updated on the basis of collected information. From the survey it emerged that in some cases road conditions were somehow variable along the surveyed section. In order to represent these situations of mixed road conditions the original classification encompassing only the categories “high”, “medium” and “poor” was updated by including two additional classes: “poor to medium” and “medium to high”. The map below illustrates the surveyed road, the documented sections (small squares), the updated thematic map of road conditions and a selection of photos.
