matkustajakilometrit
Matkustajakilometrit is a Finnish term that translates to "passenger-kilometers" in English. It is a unit of measurement used to quantify the amount of travel undertaken by passengers. Essentially, it is calculated by multiplying the number of passengers on a journey by the distance they traveled. For example, if 10 passengers travel 100 kilometers, the total passenger-kilometers for that journey would be 10 x 100 = 1000 passenger-kilometers.
This metric is widely used in the transportation industry, particularly in public transport, aviation, and rail.
Analyzing passenger-kilometers allows for comparisons between different transportation systems and can highlight trends in passenger mobility.
