Passenger travel demand forecasting: applications of disaggregate models and directions for research

  • Chapter

Abstract

The Williamsburg Conference on Urban Travel Demand Forecasting held in 1972 observed that:

“The confidence in that approach (conventional aggregate travel demand models) has been shaken and significant changes must be made to restore it” (Transportation Research Board Special Report 143, page 11)
