ABSTRACT

This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book provides comprehensive research on air travel demand forecasting methods, for various forecasting time horizons ranging from the short term and the medium term to the long term. It focuses on the air travel demand and discusses common forecasting methods for various categories of air travel demand, including the air travel demand of Origin-Destination pairs, air travel demand of an airport and nationwide air travel demand. The book describes the theoretical basis that is TEI@I methodology, which was originally proposed for analyzing complex systems due to the inherent complexity and nonlinearity in a complex system. It presents a scientometric analysis of the general demand forecasting literature to investigate the whole landscape of the present demand forecasting research and to identify main thematic patterns, landmark articles and emerging trends for future research with a visual description.
