A REVIEW OF MICRO-COMPUTER STATISTICAL PACKAGES FOR USE BY TRANSPORT PLANNERS

Current trends in the development of micro-computers will influence transport planners. Their ability to solve problems, prepare reports and work more efficiently should increase. One aspect of considerable interest is that of statistical analysis of data. Many statistical computer programs have been developed for large computer installations and it is therefore to be expected that similar packages will be developed for micro-computers. This paper reviews the statistical needs of transport planners and investigates the role statistical packages, developed for micro-computers, play in meeting these needs. (Author/TRRL)
