Objectives of the Service
- The road survey is a measurement of the performance of a certain number of contributors involved in road transport along the Northern Corridor (weighbridges, police, customs, etc.) and the way their activities can have an impact on the performance of the corridor and on road transport operators.
- The general objective for the survey with regard to road transport is to gather information on delays recorded along the corridor among the truck drivers themselves, as well as their possible reasons, by means of a questionnaire and a form to be filled in during the trip; therefore, the Supervisor is required to ensure that the survey is smoothly carried out on the field.
- In a specific way, the objective of the Supervisor is to guarantee that a big number of questionnaires have been well filled in by the drivers chosen and trained to participate to the road survey from a number of transporters of cargo along the Northern Corridor.
- On the basis of at least 200 questionnaires correctly filled in with regard to the length of the trip (to and fro), the expected results are such that there should be comprehensive data on: durations of the journeys along the Corridor with regard to origin and destination of the cargo, locations, time and reasons for stopping, time to cross borders and weighbridges, type of vehicle and transported cargo.
