Abstract	In this paper the passenger-demand studies and the preliminary economic evaluation of policies to meet the passenger travel demand within the Rio de Janeiro-Sao Paulo-Campinas Corridor are summarized; particular attention is paid to the introduction of a high-speed train service. Existing methods for travel-demand forecasting were not judged suitable, both because of their cross-elasticity problems and because of the volume of data required to calibrate them. Accordingly, a new direct-demand model was developed centered on a multilevel multinomial-logit mode-split formulation. By applying this methodology, the main results of the evaluation of high-speed train service showed that it is unlikely to be economically justified for the whole corridor. However, it appears to be warranted for part of the corridor-the Sao Paulo-Campinas link-under all hypotheses adopted.
