Freight (Passenger) Traffic
refers to the volume of freight (passenger) transported with various means
within a specific period of time. This indicator reflects the service of the
transport industry towards the national economy and people’s living conditions,
as well as an important indicator used in formulating and monitoring transport
production plans and research into the scale and pace of transport
development. Freight transport is
calculated in tons and passenger traffic is calculated in terms of number of
persons. Freight transport is calculated in terms of the actual weight of the
goods and takes no account of the type of freight and distance of travel.
Passenger traffic is calculated by the principle that one person can be counted
only once in one trip and takes no account of the travelling distance and
ticket price. The passengers who travel with a half price ticket or a child’s
ticket is also calculated as one person.
Turnover Volume of Freight (Passenger)
Traffic
refers to the sum of the product of the volume of
transported cargo (passengers) multiplied by the transport distance. It is an
important indicator to reflect the achievement of the transportation industry.
This is an important indicator to show the total results of the transport
industry; to prepare and examine the transport plan; and to serve as the main
basic data for calculating the efficiency, labour
productivity and unit cost of transport. Normally, the shortest distance
between the departure station and the destination station (i.e., the payable
distance) is the basis in calculating the freight ton-kilometres.
The formula is as follows:
Turnover Volume of Freight (Passenger) Traffic =∑Freight (Passenger)
Traffic×Distance
of Transportation
Ports Cargo Handled Capacity
refers to the volume of cargo passing in and out the harbor area and having been
loaded and unloaded. The volume of freight handled may be classified as in-port
& out-port. It can also be classified as national trade and international
trade by the attribute of trade or be classified by the classification of cargo
according to the standard of traffic in use “The Classification and Code of
Transported Cargo”.
International Container Handled Capacity
refers to number and weight of containers which are loaded or unloaded within
port area via water carriage. It is often calculated by entering and leaving
port, respectively. TEU was the abbreviation of twenty foot equivalent unit,
which refers to converted number of all kinds of containers. The conversion
method is based on respective conversion ratio and the number of all kinds of
container is converted to the standard number of 20-foot equivalent unit. The
conversion ratio is 40-foot container 1∶2, 35-foot container 1∶1.75, 20-foot container 1∶1, 10-foot container
1∶0.5.
Business Value of Post and Telecommunication
Services
refers to the total amount of post and telecommunication services, expressed in
value terms, provided by the post and telecommunications departments for the
society. Post and telecommunication services can be classified as letters,
parcels, remittance, issue of newspapers and magazines, fast mail service,
express mail service, savings deposits, stamps for collection, public and
individual telegraph service, facsimiles, long-distance telephone service,
leasing of telephone lines, urban paging service, mobile telephone service,
data transfer and transmission, etc. The accounting approach is to multiply the
service products of all types with their average unit price (constant price) to
get sum of business value, plus income from other services such as leasing of
telephone lines and equipment, maintenance of telephone switchboards and lines
on behalf of customers. This indicator reflects the overall results of post and
telecommunications service during a given period, and is important to study the
composition of business service and the development of post and
telecommunications service. The formula is as follows:
Business Value of Post and Telecommunication
Services = ∑(Transaction of Post and Telecommunication Service×Constant Price) + Income from
leasing, Maintenance and Other Services = Business Volume of Post + Business
Volume of Telecommunication
Possession of Civil Motor Vehicles
refers to the total number of vehicles that are registered and received vehicles
license tags according to the Work Standard for Motor Vehicles Registration
formulated by transport management office under department of public security
at the end of reference period. They are divided into following categories
according to the structure of motor vehicles: passenger vehicles, trucks and
others; and private vehicles and vehicles for units use according to
ownerships; working vehicles, non-working vehicles and special motor vehicles
according to kind of usage; large passenger vehicles, medium passenger
vehicles, small passenger vehicles and mini passenger vehicle, heavy trucks,
light-heavy trucks, light trucks and mini trucks according to sizes of
vehicles.
Capacity of Office Telephone Exchanges
refers to the capacity (measured in gate) of telephone exchanges installed in
the offices of telecommunication service providers for communication between
fixed telephones. It includes the capacity of both manual and automatic
exchanges in use and for stand-by purpose, excluding the capacity of
subscribers’ exchanges.
Capacity of
refers to the
capacity of the maximum services provided to subscribers at one time basing on
a certain model and transacting capacity of the mobile telephone exchanges.
