Forecasting hub

We run a range of seminars and discussion forums to share knowledge and experience. We aim to help improve understanding and capability of transport modelling and demand forecasting.

Objectives

• To provide a forum for sector modelling specialists to present and discuss topic issues.
• To provide advice and guidance to enable the enhancement of knowledge and capability in the transport sector especially in the modelling and forecasting area.

Activities

Quarterly meetings involving a presentation on a specific topic combined with a discussion of the forecasting work going on in the various transport sectors (road, freight, maritime, aviation, rail, active modes and revenue).
