Already, the project team has sought the input of a peer review
panel to guide the team in its ridership demand forecasting.
The peer review panel is a group of leading experts with overlapping
expertise in all the relevant areas of Baltimore-Washington
Maglev ridership and revenue forecasting including high-speed
rail demand modeling, transportation analysis, economics,
finance, project evaluation, investment banking, statistics,
and highway traffic analysis.
Members of the Peer Review committee include senior representatives
from the Metropolitan Planning Organizations, consultant forecasters,
academic modelers and financial advisers. The committee will
critique and make recommendations on the reasonableness of
the demand forecasting approach and process used by the project
team's ridership consultants to enhance and lend further credibility
to ridership and revenue potential for the Baltimore-Washington
Maglev Service.
