INTERCITY PASSENGER DEMAND MODELS: STATE-OF-THE-ART

This paper summarizes the current development and application of intercity passenger travel demand models. Models are classified as pre-distribution (e.g., direct demand and time series), post-distribution (e.g., binary and multinomial share) and hybrid. The literature on intercity demand modelling over the past ten years is reviewed, and selected models evaluated in detail. The review concludes that hybrid models are the most flexible, representing the best of post-and pre-distribution approaches, but that data requirements may render them impractical for some corridors. /Author/
