The surveys on the subject of commodities undertaken in 1994 and 1995 (which are in the process of being updated for the Ile-de-France and Bordeaux regions) have highlighted the link between economic activities and the deliveries/collections that they generate. As a result, it has come to light that a pharmacy generates more comings and goings than a restaurant, using different kinds of vehicle, and that the service sector generates traffic, etc...
Using data from the SIRENE °° file, FRETURB, developed by the LET°, makes it possible to assess the number of ‘movements of goods’ over a particular period and geographic sector. One ‘movement of goods’ corresponds to a stop by a vehicle for delivery or collection, whatever the type of vehicle. (HGV, vans but also light goods vehicles or 2-wheel drive).
The map represents an assessment of all the logistical activity in the department, expressed by number of weekly trips represented on a grid 200 m by 200 m.
