Abstract
A computer-implemented method, software and system for determining a service demand in a service network are disclosed. A first information indicative of prior proportion knowledge of elements of the service demand is received. Two or more elements of the service demand represent service volumes for two or more pairs of zones and the first information indicates reference relative relationships between the two or more elements of the service demand. Second information indicative of instances of service at specific locations in the service network are received. The service demand is determined by minimising a cost function. The cost function is based on the first information and the second information.
