Economic Areas Monitoring

The flow of heavy motor vehicle movements through a given area and congregation thereof is an excellent indicator of economic activity and potential land value.

In many developed economies, “transportation accounts for between 6% and 12% of the GDP”, according to Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue and Dr. Theo Notteboom. Furthermore, land adjacent or serviced by good transport services generally has greater value.

Given the significance of transportation in Africa, understanding and ultimately improving heavy motor vehicle movements is critical to successful economic growth and development. LMS by monitoring over 72 (and growing) key economic geographical areas mapped along transport corridors, provides essential data to understand this relationship.
