Greatest Interests about Travel Demand Modeling and Forecasting: Forecasting is the foundation of so many projects that leads to multi-million-dollar decisions. Yet, it’s an imperfect science and the accuracy of its outputs are more akin to long-range weather forecasting than we would like to admit. He enjoys the challenge of taking imprecise inputs and assumptions and communicating results.
