Aufbauend auf den Ergebnissen einer Pilotstudie (1995) und eines Feldversuchs (1996) wurden 1998 im Auftrag des Bundesministeriums fuer Verkehr, Bau- und Wohnungswesen in Zusammenarbeit mit den Strassenbauverwaltungen der Laender manuelle Zaehlungen auslaendischer Kraftfahrzeuge auf den Autobahnen und Europastrassen durchgefuehrt. Differenziert wurde dabei nach Nationalitaeten und nach 5 Fahrzeugarten (Pkw, Bus, Lkw kleiner/gleich 3,5 t, Lkw ueber 3,5 t ohne Anhaenger und Lastzug). Gezaehlt wurde an insgesamt 411 Zaehlstellen. Davon waren 37 sogenannte Langzeitzaehlstellen mit Zaehlungen an jeweils 15 ueber das Jahr verteilten Tagen mit bis zu 24 Zaehlstunden je Zaehltag. Diese Langzeitzaehlstellen dienten der Ableitung von Hoch- und Umrechnungsfaktoren fuer die 374 Kurzzeitzaehlstellen, an denen an bis zu 8 Tagen in der Regel 7 Stunden je Tag gezaehlt wurde. Auf der Grundlage dieser Zaehlwerte wurde fuer 1998 fuer das Autobahnnetz eine durchschnittliche taegliche Verkehrsstaerke (DTV) von 3.400 auslaendischen Kraftfahrzeugen/24h ermittelt. 54 Prozent dieser Fahrzeuge gehoeren zum Personenverkehr, 46 Prozent zum Gueterverkehr. Der vorliegende Bericht erlaeutert das Erhebungs- und Hochrechnungsverfahren, ausserdem sind in einem Tabellenanhang die Einzelergebnisse fuer Streckenabschnitte der Autobahnen und Europastrassen aufgefuehrt. Ein weiterer Tabellenanhang enthaelt verschiedene Statistiken zu den Jahresfahrleistungen und den DTV-Werten der auslaendischen Kraftfahrzeuge. Titel in Englisch: Road traffic census of foreign motor vehicles found on Federal motorways and European highways in 1998. English abstract: The Federal Minister for Road Traffic, Building and Housing commissioned a manual census in 1998 to be carried out on motorways and European highways in collaboration with the Highways Agencies of the Länder. The census was based on the results of a pilot study (1995) and a field trial (1996). A difference was made according to nationality and 5 categories of vehicle: private cars, buses, lorries < 3.5 tonnes, lorries > 3.5 tonnes without a trailer. Counting took place at 411 census points in all. Of these, 37 were long-term census points with counting taking place on fifteen days over the year and up two 24 hours per counting day. These long-term census points were used to derive projection and conversion factors for the 374 short-period census points where counting took place up to 8 days, normally 7 hours a day. Based on these figures an average daily volume of traffic (DTV) was calculated for the motorway network in 1998 of 3,400 foreign vehicles per 24 hours. Of these, 54% were private and 46% goods vehicles. Of an average total road traffic volume on the motorways in 1998 of 46,800 vehicles (native and foreign) the foreign share was over 7%. Total German motorway goods traffic was 7,900 vehicles per day in 1998, of which one in five was foreign. Of foreign goods vehicles, 83% were articulated lorries (> 3.5 tonnes maximum permitted gross weight with tractor unit and trailer). Vans and lorries without a trailer were only represented to a minor extent in foreign goods vehicles (8% and 9% respectively). Of foreign vehicles on motorways Dutch vehicles were the largest contingent in 1998 (26%) followed by Polish vehicles (12%) and Austrian (9%). The present report discusses the data collection and projection procedure. In addition, the individual results for sections of motorway and European highways are given in tabular form in an appendix. A similar appendix shows various statistics concerning annual traffic and the DTV values for foreign vehicles. The original report contains two versions of the census form used, as Appendices 1 to 4, with instructions for their use and also illustrations and a description of foreign number plates. These appendices have not been reproduced in the present publication, but they are available at the Federal Highway Research Institute and can be consulted there. Information about the appendices have been retained in the report text.
