Cargo Truck Operation and Freight Volume Assessment... Nationwide Cargo Traffic Survey Conducted

Overview of the National Freight Traffic Survey

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced on the 21st that it will conduct the 6th National Freight Traffic Survey by September to understand the traffic of freight vehicles nationwide and the flow of freight volume.

The survey is a national transportation survey conducted regularly every five years since 1998 to support the establishment, implementation, and post-evaluation of national logistics policies. The 5th survey was conducted in 2017.

This survey targets approximately 14,000 businesses, 33,000 freight vehicles, and 40 major logistics hubs. The survey covers five areas: logistics status of businesses and warehousing, freight vehicle traffic conditions, hazardous material freight transportation status, and freight conditions at logistics hubs.

The Ministry plans to establish basic information on logistics facilities and the freight sector by identifying the interregional freight volume flow by item, freight vehicle traffic patterns, the status of logistics warehouses and hazardous material handling businesses, and characteristics of major logistics hubs. The collected data will be processed and used as basic data for various transportation and logistics investment plans by the government and local governments.
