Detailed Description
The Passenger Demand Forecasting Handbook (PDFH) summarises over twenty years of research on rail demand forecasting, providing guidance on aspects such as the effects of service quality, fares and external factors on rail demand.
It is recognised within the industry as the key source of evidence in this area, which is reflected by the board membership of the scheme.
The Handbook provides guidance on applying this understanding to the preparation of forecasts for:
- investment appraisal;
- pricing decisions;
- timetabling and operating decisions;
- business planning and budgeting.
