An advanced freight transport survey instrument is designed and implemented to survey multiple logistics agents, and to understand commodity flow generation and attraction as well as the type and amounts of commodities being distributed. The integrated web‐based survey platform also leverages sensing technologies to additionally track shipments and freight vehicles. The outcomes of this next‐generation Commodity Flow Survey (CFS) would supply data on the flows of goods between establishments, useful for freight modeling and ultimately for guiding the design of more efficient logistics and transport operations and policy planning. A pilot run of this survey, conducted in Singapore in 2017, will be a key source of freight data. The chapter presents some key survey features. It shows the general steps involved in integrated CFS, which is intended to capture the behavior of different entities to be surveyed – shippers, receivers, carriers (and any combinations).
