Representative Experience

For a European high-speed rail authority, Cambridge Systematics, as part of a team, estimated models that forecast ridership and revenues for a proposed high-speed rail system. Cambridge Systematics reviewed the overall structure of the existing model system, made recommendations for improving model components, and developed disaggregate models of intercity travel at a national level. We developed a user-friendly, state-of-the-art simulation program for forecasting. The program was designed to take full advantage of the disaggregate models that have been estimated by forecasting the number of trips, mode choice, and destination choices of each individual traveler.
