Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to provide a review of the performance measurement of road freight transport. The performance measurement of road freight transport can be carried out using so-called key performance indicators (KPI). The focus of this paper is on the presentation of the limits of measurements based on weight. All this is based on the frequently applied measure, the utilisation of vehicle capacity, and illustrating with examples we analyse the factors that can exert influence on the reliability of the given measure.
