DEMAND FORECASTING IN TRANSPORT: OVERVIEW AND MODELING ADVANCES

Theodore Tskeris
Charalambos Tsekeris

Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to comprehensively explore and productively overview the growing
research field of demand forecasting in transport. In this analytic context, it seeks to describe, critically
discuss and fruitfully elaborate on relevant mechanisms and models of demand forecasting, as well as
on the particular development and implementation of systematic (or system-wide) approaches. The
overview of various theoretical and methodological developments in current prediction models
eventually advocates the use of consumer demand models (of dynamic character) to predict demand
shares among alternative modes of transport.

Keywords
