EXpert-system based PrEdictions of Demand for Internal Transport in Europe - EXPEDITE

In order to show which policies can be effective to reach substitution from car and lorry (truck) and air transport to other modes, as well as to identify market segments that are sensitive or insensitive to policy measures, the EXpert-system based PrEdictions of Demand for Internal Transport in Europe (EXPEDITE) project's objective was to generate forecasts for both passenger and freight transport for Europe from 2005-2020 at 5-year intervals. Two new models have been created based on information from existing ones; these new models are the EXPEDITE meta-model for passenger transport and the EXPEDITE meta-model for freight transport. This final report presents the main outcomes of the entire project - the results of the model runs and conclusions on the effectiveness of policy measures based on those results.
