The application of Big Data for highway and waterway transport statistics
Using administrative transportation data to improve transportation statistics
In 2014, the Joint Transport Ministry has studied the networks of the toll highway system and marine visa system. They found a way to apply the massive administrative records data of these two systems to the highway and waterway transport statistics, and now the method has been applied in most of the country on a trial basis.
Project Objective:
Pilot intended to go to production to replace existing data
Project Outcomes:
This achievement has been applied to highway and waterway transport statistics in China and the results can be more accurate and timelier compared to the original methods. The project has important implications for how Big Data can be used in official statistics.
