Descripción
The globalisation of sustainable development requires the use of transferable indicator systems which help in finding a balanced solution to the conflicts between the objectives of economic, environmental and social sustainability. This paper serves as a methodological basis for building an indicator system, in phases, which enables: The assessment and follow-up of the sustainability of the transport sector in its threefold dimension: economic, environmental and social; The synchronic and diachronic comparison of the indicators; Setting critical and desirable threshold values: and objective values for realistic progress towards those desirable values. To achieve these objectives, we recommend using an iterative cycle of the indicator: generation and selection, technical construction, application, development and finally, communication, transfer and use. As an example of the methodology, we show: ¿ an example of two blocks of indicators of a social nature. The development of a subset of road accident indicators, applied in several geographic areas throughout Europe and Spain.
