The evaluation of the available information coming from Partner countries on the scale of a single iMONITRAF! transalpine traffic corridor imposed a rather strict selection of the first set of indicators perfected within the first project MONITRAF. Precisely the disparity of data in terms of time scale and space and of method of collection or of types of parameters considered, has led the project partners to choose a rather limited number of 12 indicators. The latter selection should, however, allow to depict a global picture of the interactions and the relations between the transport system, the social system, the economy and the territory in view of sustainable mobility. It is appropriate to point out that many IMONITRAF! indicators have been elaborated with high levels of detail, having as reference the territories crossed by the transalpine infrastructural corridor included within the Alpine borders as defined in the Alpine convention. This approach allows to highlight the relations between international traffic, in particular freight traffic, and certain territorial parameters such as the concentration of pollutants record- ed in the various monitoring stations, the populations along the corridors, noise etc. However we shouldn’t con- ceal the fact that in some cases information was not complete enough to guarantee adequate elaboration of the indicator. Work was done with the collaboration of all the PPs which supported the Aosta Valley ARPA by participating in the selection of the sets of indicators, in the collection of the data required and in the critical review of the indica- tors processed. The iMONITRAF! Indicators set is composed by the following elements: IMONITRAF!

So as to organize data collection in the best possible manner, a fact sheet was prepared, that would contain any useful information for the PPs who had to search and produce the sets of data. All the PPs therefore filled in the spreadsheet handed out to them, in the same manner. 2.1 INDICATOR 1 – Road traffic fluxes METADATA Indicator: Road traffic fluxes Number: 1Name: Road traffic fluxes MONITRAF indicator 1-2 Main category: TrafficUnit: vehicles/day (veh/d) Level: Stations Objective: Basis for assessment of MONITRAF scenarios Definition of indicator: Yearly average of mean daily traffic of light and heavy vehicles Calculation: Total number of light and heavy vehicles per year in both directions / 365 Data: Name:Vehicules/day (veh/d) Unit: Number Periodicity: annual Period: 2006-2010 Reference period: 2000 and 2005 Definition of data to be Daily number of vehicles in both directions counted at the chosen counting stations, divided into type of collected: vehicle. At the motorway exits access (in) and exit (out) data will be collected.

The choice of the vehicles classification is the same than the first Monitraf project: the Light Duty Vehicles were included in the Heavy Vehicles class according to the Italian
