Transport Demand Modelling

Transport Demand Modeling overlooks the key aspects such as identifying the nature of transportation problems, transportation modeling analysis, the models that are used for analysis and evaluating the suitability of a transport demand model. It identifies the influences that influence supply and demand using transport data, field surveys and data analysis to understand the system. In transport system modeling theses influences are represented with the outcomes of their interactions constructing a simulating system. Overall model simulates the transport supply and demand interactions.
