Details

Part of a programme of work to evaluate Arup and Oxera’s 2009 ‘Revisiting the elasticity based framework’ study. Its intention is to investigate:

  • how accurately the ‘revisiting’ framework is able to replicate actual rail demand, both using the revisiting market segmentation and the market segmentation outlined in the ‘Passenger demand forecasting handbook’ (PDFH)
  • how the accuracy of the revisiting framework compares to the accuracy of the PDFH forecasting framework
