Intercity Travel Demand Modeling and Forecasting for High Speed Rail Service in the Quebec-Ontario Corridor
This paper describes the application of intercity travel demand models and preparation of ridership and revenue forecasts for the Ontario/Quebec Rapid Train Task Force in 1990. The development...
Intercity Travel Demand Forecasting for the Windsor-Quebec City Corridor
Travel demand forecasts were required for the 600-mile-long Quebec City - Windsor Canada Corridor to test alternative rail systems including high speed rail. The approach involved application...
Assumptions Behind Ridership Forecasts for High Speed Ground Transportation Systems and Their Validity: The California-Nevada Case Study
Accurate prediction of ridership is one of the key elements for approval of any transit project and eventually for survival after the system begins operation. This is particularly true...
Planning for the National High Speed Rail Network in Korea
High speed rail lines are being constructed or planned among other transportation modes in Korea. They are expected to contribute to alleviate already serious intercity traffic congestion...
