Abstract When the service region of ports overlap, consignors’ selecting behaviors for shipping ports become homogeneous to commuters’ choosing behaviors on trips. The commuters’ travel behaviors can be described through a probabilistic model in transportation planning. In this study, we adopt the transportation probabilistic forecast model to forecast port throughput. First, we amend the model with a port attraction coefficient to forecast port throughput distributions between different ports. Then, forecast for each port throughput is obtained by reallocation of regional total port throughput to each nearby port. We use the port of Fuyang as an empirical research in this paper to validate the methodology. Results compared between this method and traditional regression model indicate that this method provides more persuasive reasoning.
