PASSENGER TRANSPORT DEMAND IN URBAN AREAS. METHODOLOGY FOR ANALYSING AND FORECASTING

This study relates to urban transport demand modelling. Approach methodologies are described and the scope of available procedures, particularly with regard to relevance and determining the conditions for better results, is discussed. The difficulties of measurability are briefly reviewed, and the stratification approach to their solution is outlined. The report finally raises the question of improved consistency in terms of the objectives of demand models and suggests an evaluation of strategy which is in closer alignment with the expectations of present-day cities. /TRRL/
