Although used car prices are still stubbornly high and inventories historically low, things have improved so far in 2023. "The last several months have followed very closely to 2019's levels, the ...
There are two forecasting sub-problems: predicting time-phased demand and predicting demand response to the pricing decisions. In yield management-type applications, predicting time-phased demand, at a very granular level, is central since these applications are characterized by fixed capacity against which demand must be balanced by use of ...
Demand forecasting methods are divided into two major categories, qualitative and quantitative methods: Qualitative methods are based on expert opinion and information gathered from the field. This method is mostly used in situations when there is minimal data available for analysis, such as when a business or product has recently been ...
Discrete choice models theoretically or empirically model choices made by people among a finite set of alternatives. The models have been used to examine, e.g., the choice of which car to buy, [1] [3] where to go to college, [4] which mode of transport (car, bus, rail) to take to work [5] among numerous other applications. Discrete choice ...
Still, Cox experts predict that with growing new-vehicle inventory, affordability will improve this year and that 2025 will be the best year for the market since 2019.
The contemporary Smeed Report on congestion pricing was initially promoted to manage demand but was deemed politically unacceptable. In more recent times, the approach has been caricatured as "predict and provide" to predict future transport demand and provide the network for it, usually by building more roads.
Transportation forecasting is the attempt of estimating the number of vehicles or people that will use a specific transportation facility in the future. For instance, a forecast may estimate the number of vehicles on a planned road or bridge, the ridership on a railway line, the number of passengers visiting an airport, or the number of ships calling on a seaport.
By 2000, virtually all major airlines, hotel firms, cruise lines and rental car firms had implemented revenue management systems to predict customer demand and optimize available price. These revenue management systems had limited "optimize" to imply managing the availability of pre-defined prices in pre-established price categories.
