In addition to the census data collected directly by UNECE, Eurostat collects many different regional datasets that can be visualised, some of which are on an annual basis. While the UNECE censuses collect traffic volumes, i.e. number of vehicles per day, the Eurostat data focus on transport measurement, that is passenger numbers and passenger-km, tonnes and tonne-km. Examples of possible visualisations are 

Road

Road accidents

Rail Passengers

There is only one Eurostat passenger rail dataset that contains data below the national level. The "tran_r_rapa" set covers both national and international railway passengers transported by loading and unloading NUTS 2 region.

...

There are national-level international rail journey datsets available, but this regional dataset has the benefit of collecting information from both the origin and destination country, which makes means that less data are unavailable due to confidentiality (as long as one country publishes the figures, then they are visible). Data can thus be visualised, but given the large number of connections with very small numbers of passengers, some filtering makes sense. The picture below shows a map with all flows greater than 100,000 passengers a year.

As mentioned, just the international journeys can be filtered out if desired. The following figure shows all international rail passenger journeys 9from the dataset) greater than 50,000 passengers a year. This map shows, for example, the prominence of Paris and Vienna as international rail hubs, and also shows that the top five origin-destinatino combinations are:

  1. Malmo-Copenhagen
  2. Flokestone-Calais (Eurotunnel)
  3. London-Paris (Eurostar)
  4. Stuttgart-Geneva&Lausanne
  5. Paris-Brussels
