For example, if data indicates that agricultural production, a type of large volume freight, is increasing, how can the waterway and port network be strengthened to transport it more cheaply and sustainably? And when improving the road network, in which regions has the demand for transport increased the most? How does the evolution of the country\u2019s economy influence logistics costs?<\/p>\n These are just some examples of the usefulness of a transport observatory, an entity that more and more countries, including Spain, are creating, and which also collects very useful data provided by satellite tracking systems on the deforestation of the Amazon rainforest, information on fuel prices or the production of all kinds of goods, freight and passenger movements, tariffs and freight costs behaviour, average transport costs, macroeconomic indicators, etc. All of this data is provided by both large companies in the country and the different departments and public bodies of federal and state government that participate in the observatory, and is then processed and organised for easy consultation on the website.<\/p>\n The ONTL is the result of cooperation between the governments of Spain and Brazil, which have maintained close economic relations since the 1990s, with strong investment flows between both countries. Collaboration on transport infrastructure has crystallised in the signing of multiple agreements since 2012. As a result, in 2014, Ineco carried out a study to calculate transport costs on Brazil\u2019s waterways. With the ONTL, Ineco transmits the knowledge it has The Brazilian observatory gathers data from more than 50 sources of information supplied by numerous agents related to infrastructure, operations, security, financing and other key aspects of the Brazilian transport and logistics system: airport authorities and concessionaires, ports and roads, ministries and governmental entities, the police, merchant marine, sectoral associations and large public and private companies that represent the principal industrial sectors (oil, aeronautics, mining, automotive, etc.). All of these sources generate valuable knowledge that is disseminated in work sessions, specialised workshops and seminars, data panels, an annual newsletter, etc. and is collected on the website for consultation.<\/p>\n As in the case of the Spanish observatory, Ineco designed the information collection and processing system and the database and website, which is open to both sector agents and the general public. It has also developed a set of indicators which serve to harmonise data from different sources and facilitate the analysis of information and its dissemination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In a country with one of the highest agricultural productions in the world, how can the most appropriate modes of transport for high-volume freight be promoted? How does the evolution of the economy influence transportation costs? To answer these and many other questions, since October 2018, Brazil has had a new instrument: the National Transport and Logistics Observatory, which was launched by the public entity EPL, with the collaboration of Ineco.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":137,"featured_media":3321,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[581,600,1408,567],"tags":[1729,617,1730,1731],"coauthors":[1727,1728],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.revistaitransporte.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3328"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.revistaitransporte.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.revistaitransporte.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.revistaitransporte.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/137"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.revistaitransporte.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3328"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.revistaitransporte.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3328\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3547,"href":"https:\/\/www.revistaitransporte.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3328\/revisions\/3547"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.revistaitransporte.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3321"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.revistaitransporte.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3328"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.revistaitransporte.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3328"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.revistaitransporte.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3328"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.revistaitransporte.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=3328"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
