Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-006118

A unit of measurement in railway operations representing the movement of one unit of traffic over one mile. The specific unit of traffic defines the metric, resulting in either a passenger-mile (one passenger transported one mile) or a ton-mile (one ton of freight transported one mile). These metrics are fundamental inputs for calculating railway revenue, operating efficiency, and traffic density.
