Forecasting demand for London 2012 and what really happened then and since, a talk by Sandra Weddell
Abstract
A presentation on the demand forecasts developed for the London 2012 Olympics and Paralympics. This process covered the London Underground, London Overground and Dockland Light Railway networks, bringing together multiple data sources to represent the overall transport system. With the Games now over, the presentation will also focus on the rare opportunity to use actual data to review the accuracy of a complex forecasting process, and thus highlight lessons to be learned. I will also talk about work we have been doing with the same models since then on major impacting projects.
There will be an opportunity for further discussion after the talk, in the Marquis Cornwallis on Marchmont Street.
