Monitoring modal shift : longer and heavier vehicles : the follow-up measurement (2011)

The Dutch Minister of Infrastructure and the Environment has promised the Dutch Lower House to monitor the authorisation of longer and heavier vehicles (LHVs), in particular the effects on traffic safety and the modal split during the third trial period, the so-called ‘experience phase’. This study aims to give insight into shifts from rail transport and/or inland shipping to road transport as a result of the deployment of LHVs.
