Replication Data for: From Invoice Census to Multistream Fusion: Upgrading Brazil’s National Freight Matrix for the 2050 Logistics Plan

This dataset includes two PDF files detailing the methodologies used to construct the transport origin‑destination matrices in Brazil’s National Logistics Plan (PNL) for the horizon years 2035 and 2050: (1) the 2035 methodology sourced from the ONTL (National Observatory of Transport and Logistics) website (https://ontl.infrasa.gov.br/planejamento/metodologias/), outlining assumptions, data collection, modeling procedures, and calibration processes (accessed on June 27, 2025); and (2) the 2050 preliminary methodology, a first draft submitted for public consultation, retrieved from the PIT (Integrated Transport Planning) open data portal (https://pit.infrasa.gov.br/dados-abertos/), presenting the initial framework for the 2050 transport matrix (accessed on June 27, 2025). These documents provide crucial context for Brazil’s long‑term, multimodal transport planning, covering aspects such as data structure, model strategy, scenario assumptions, projection techniques, and governance.
