Data in Brief
|January 14, 2022
Summary
This dataset details European road freight traffic, including truck volumes and routes on the E-road network. It provides crucial data for planning future transport infrastructure and traffic studies.
Area of Science:
- Transportation Science
- Logistics and Supply Chain Management
- Geographic Information Systems
Background:
- European road freight traffic data is essential for infrastructure planning and traffic management.
- Existing datasets often lack detailed origin-destination flows and network path information.
- Accurate freight volume data is needed to forecast future transport demands.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present a comprehensive dataset on European road freight traffic, including historical, current, and forecasted data.
- To provide detailed truck traffic flows, origin-destination pairs, and shortest paths on the European highway network (E-roads).
- To offer a valuable resource for researchers and planners in transportation and infrastructure development.
Main Methods:
- Data compilation from EU sources and Eurostat, updated with recent freight volumes.
- Conversion of freight volumes (tons) into truck traffic (vehicles).
- Extraction and updating of the relevant E-road network, followed by Dijkstra's algorithm for path allocation.
Main Results:
- A dataset covering 1675 European regions with detailed road freight flows (tons and vehicles) for 2010, 2019, and 2030.
- Inclusion of shortest paths within the E-road network and associated distances.
- Synthetically generated road freight traffic volumes allocated to each road section.
Conclusions:
- The dataset offers a robust foundation for designing future European road infrastructure, such as charging stations for electric trucks.
- It is highly relevant for traffic science research and practical planning by infrastructure developers.
- The data facilitates informed decision-making for sustainable and efficient road freight transport in Europe.

02:12Short-distance Transport of Resources
16.6K
Short-distance transport refers to transport that occurs over a distance of just 2-3 cells, crossing the plasma membrane in the process. Small uncharged molecules, such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water, can diffuse across the plasma membrane on their own. In contrast, ions and larger molecules require the assistance of transport proteins due to their charge or size. Transport across membranes also occurs within individual cells, playing a variety of essential roles for the plant as a whole.

02:02Phloem and Sugar Transport
38.3K
Like many living organisms, plants have tissues that specialize in specific plant functions. For example, shoots are well adapted to rapid growth, while roots are structured to acquire resources efficiently. However, sugar production is primarily restricted to the photosynthetic cells that reside in the leaves of angiosperm plants. Sugar and other resources are transported from photosynthetic tissues to other specialized tissues by a process called translocation.

01:26General External Flow Characteristics
304
The study of external flow is essential for creating structures and objects that interact efficiently and safely with moving fluids, such as air or water. When a body is immersed in a flowing fluid, it experiences two primary forces: drag, which opposes motion along the flow direction, and lift, which acts perpendicular to the flow. The shape, size, and orientation of the object influence these forces.Streamlined and Blunt Bodies in External FlowObjects in fluid flow are classified as...

01:02Noncompartmental Analysis: Mean Transit, Absorption and Dissolution Time
176
When drugs are administered extravascularly, a comprehensive evaluation through noncompartmental analysis becomes imperative. This analytical approach considers various parameters that play a crucial role in understanding the pharmacokinetics of these drugs.
One of the key parameters is the mean transit time (MTT), which refers to the total duration required for drug molecules to transit through the body. MTT is determined by calculating the ratio of the area under the moment curve to the area...

01:26Transport Across the Golgi
4.6K
While it is unclear how molecules move between adjacent Golgi cisternae, it is apparent that the molecules move from cis- cisterna, the entry face, to the trans- cisterna, the exit face. Experiments initially suggested vesicles that bud from one cisterna and fuse with the next cisterna to transport proteins between the cisternae. This vesicular transport model describes the Golgi apparatus as a relatively static structure with a unique enzyme composition in each cisterna. Molecules are...

01:31ABC Transporters: Exporter
5.2K
ATP-binding cassette or ABC transporter is the largest superfamily of integral membrane proteins. The transporters have transmembrane-binding domains (TMDs) and nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs). The TMDs are specific to their substrates, whereas the NBDs are similar to engines that complete ATP hydrolysis to complete the substrate transport. They can be full transporters consisting of two TMDs and NBDs, half transporters with one TMD and NBD, while some encoded with a single TMD or NBD are...
