Abstract

This paper will focus on the operational experiences encountered by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) in conducting the Freight Movements Survey 2000 (FMS 2000). Operational experiences and outcomes are compared with feasibility studies and pre determined performance indicators. The main difficulties encountered by a national statistical agency in collecting detailed road freight data are discussed together with solutions that were adopted to overcome them. Issues discussed include methods used to collect road freight transport data, provider issues encountered and other interesting experiences.
