Summary
For future planning purposes, every industry must have a flow of information
concerning the expected demand for its product. In the case of railways, both the
capacities to be used and the expected total revenue depend on the level of future rail
passenger traffic, so that the railways have a crucial need for forecasts of their
passenger traffic. Based on Time Series, Kalman Filter and Artificial Neural
Networks, in this paper, two hybrid methods are proposed for railway passenger
flow forecasting. In SARIMA-ANN model, the SARIMA model is used to decide
the structure of an ANN model. In hybrid SARIMA-Kalman model, the SARIMA
model is utilized to initialize the Kalman state and measurement equations for a
Kalman model. Forecasting results of presented models are compared and they
demonstrate the capability and effectiveness of the proposed models that can assist
managers to better predict rail passenger demand.
