The objective of the current paper is to integrate the new disaggregate interstate (IS) road freight estimates into a framework of estimates of road freight tasks by state/territory, i.e. into interstate (from, to and though), as well as the capital city and other intrastate. Thus, the main objectives of this paper are: 1. to develop a methodology for integrating new IS freight estimates into a framework for road freight tasks by state/territory; 2. to derive forecasting equations for these road freight estimates using the data estimated for 197172 and 200506: 3. to use these equations to provide forecasts from 200607 to 203031 for the road freight task within each state/territory.
