Data basis for the forecast of the international traffic of the Netherlands

The initial situation

Relatively little is known about international transport – especially rail transport.

This gap in knowledge should be closed with a study which, on the one hand, collects the status quo and, on the other hand, allows the investigation of scenarios in addition to a basic forecast. This requires data on the existing transport links between the Netherlands and neighbouring countries, especially Belgium and Germany.

The concrete task

Development of a database consisting of a status-quo analysis, a baseline forecast and scenarios.

The assignment consists of three consecutive steps. First, a database of existing transport links is compiled. On this basis, a baseline forecast of future development is calculated. This forecast serves as the general basis and as basis for comparison for the calculation of various scenarios.

Our solution

Solid basis for the status quo analysis: Empirical data from mobile phone analyses

Benefits of the results

Reliable forecasts of international traffic
