Abstract

The spatial analysis and modelling established with the method of structural coefficients are based on a distinction of two dimensions in the commodity transport. The first one is a dimension of economic structure and the second one a dimension of territory structuring. This second dimension expressed by the structural coefficients deals with the differences in the volume of freight between two areas attributable to the act of structuring territory factors (transport cost, regional economic specificities, etc.). The spatial analysis and the modelling highlight for the economic structure dimension a variable reactivity of the freight to industrial growth, differentiated according to the category of product and the geographical scale of transport. For the territory structuring dimension, the spatial structure of freight is mainly related to transport cost and spatial proximity and exhibits a strong temporal stability. Long-run simulations confirm the high sensitivity of freight with contrasted economic growth and more modest but interesting impacts with various spatial transformations.
