Toll road traffic and revenue forecasts - an interpreter's guide

This book provides a concise guide to traffic and toll revenue forecasting. The probability that traffic forecasts will be wrong is considered high as driver preferences and behaviour are likely to change with time. The importance of this will depend on the purpose of the forecast. In financial services generally, modelling error tolerance tends to be low. Toll road scheme sponsors and their financial advisors may place place more reliance on a forecast (and revenue expectations) than the empirical evidence provides. This guide aims to provide the users of traffic forecasts with an understanding of the modelling process and introduces some tools that can help to interpret these forecasts.
