Forecasts play a key role in policy documents for the medium and long term, like the structure scheme for transport and the mobility scenario randstad. However, during the process from model development, via model application, to the presentation of the likely effects of developments or policy measures, a large number of translations is necessary. In this contribution some problems are discussed which are encountered during this process. We subsequently discuss: what are the objectives of research for policy? What are the contributions of the various experts? Which techniques are available, which deficiencies do they still have, and how do we manage to make use of them day-to-day. (Author/TRRL)
