This Round Table examines the design and location of interchange facilities and feeder services. The development of mathematical models to predict the effects of such schemes is described and some more general problems of integrating the evaluation of interchange schemes in an urban planning context are discussed.

As the countries of Central and Eastern Europe undergo radical economic upheavals, the question of pan-European transport is brought very sharply into focus. The transport system cannot be viewed simply in terms of the volume of traffic moving from one particular place to another but must be seen as a whole both theoretically and pragmatically in terms of specific projects. What infrastructure is to be selected? Which method of organising transport "markets" is to be preferred? How can needs logically dictated by urgency -- catering to expanding traffic flows despite inadequate transport networks -- be reconciled with such longer-term imperatives as environmental protection or integrating Central and Eastern Europe into a vast area of cultural and economic relations? Specialists attending Round Table 95 addressed all of these issues and tried to discern realistic boundaries for what can be accomplished today.

Le Glossaire des statistiques de transport a été publié pour la première fois en 1994 afin d'aider les pays membres dans la collecte de données sur le transport effectuée au moyen du Questionnaire commun mis au point par la CEE-ONU, le FIT et Eurostat. Depuis lors, il a évolué pour couvrir tous les domaines des statistiques de transport. Cette cinquième édition est le résultat de la bonne coopération entre ces trois organisations qui, grâce à un Groupe de travail intersecrétariat (IWG.Trans), poursuivent l'effort d'harmonisation des statistiques de transport aux niveaux européen et international. L'IWG a apporté une contribution appréciable en ce qui concerne les définitions manquantes, la terminologie désuète ainsi que les définitions qui nécessitaient une reformulation ou une clarification, une révision et une illustration. Cette nouvelle cinquième édition du Glossaire comprend 744 définitions et constitue un document de référence pour toutes les personnes concernées par les statistiques de transport. En suivant l'orientation exprimée dans ces définitions, il sera possible d'améliorer considérablement la qualité et la comparabilité des données.

Railway transport generally has the advantage for large-volume, long-haul freight operations. Africa possesses significant railway assets. However, many rail lines are currently not operational because of the lack of maintenance. The paper recasts light on the impact of rail transportation on firm productivity, using micro data collected in Tanzania. To avoid the endogeneity problem, the instrumental variable technique is used to estimate the impact of rail transport. The paper shows that the overall impact of rail use on firm costs is significant despite that the rail unit rates are set lower when the shipping distance is longer. Rail transport is a cost-effective option for firms. However, the study finds that firms' inventory is costly. This is a disadvantage of using rail transport. Rail operations are unreliable, adding more inventory costs to firms. The implied elasticity of demand for transport services is estimated at ?1.01 to ?0.52, relatively high in absolute terms. This indicates the rail users' sensitivity to prices as well as severity of modal competition against truck transportation. The study also finds that firm location matters to the decision to use rail services. Proximity to rail infrastructure is important for firms to take advantage of rail benefits.
