Abstract

Teniendo como referente la creciente importancia que ha alcanzado en nuestros días el transporte de mercancías, y la necesidad de un conocimiento detallado del comportamiento de su demanda, el trabajo se centra en la exploración de tres aspectos básicos: en primer lugar, se estudian los factores, directos e indirectos, cjue afectan a la demanda de transporte de mercancías, en segundo lugar, se ofrece una panorámica relativa a la situación y tendencias del sector de transporte de mercancías en nuestro país, y después se realiza una predicción para el año 2005 de los flujos de transporte terrestre (carretera y mercancías) entre los países integrantes de la Unión Europea. Las conclusiones obtenidas presentan un incretnento anual acumulativo del 5% en el transporte por carretera y un descenso del 2% en el caso del ferrocarril. De cualquier forma debe tenerse en cuenta que la amplia gama de factores que afectan a la demcuula son difícilmente medióles, por lo que la interpretación de las predicciones ha de estar sujeta al entorno proporcionado por los datos.
