• abstract = "In this paper, a new multi-level genetic programming (MLGP) approach is introduced for forecasting transport energy demand (TED) in Iran. It is shown that the result obtained here has smaller error compared with the result obtained using neural network or fuzzy linear regression approach. The forecast uses historical energy data from 1968 to 2002 and it is based on three parameters; gross domestic product (GDP), population (POP), and the number of vehicles (VEH). The approach taken in this paper is based on genetic programming (GP) and the multi-level part of the name comes from the fact that we use GP in two different levels. At the first level, GP is used to obtain the time series model of the three parameters, GDP, POP, and VEH, and forecast those parameters for the time interval that their actual data are not available, and at the second level GP is used one more time to forecast TED based on available data for TED along with the data that are either available or predicted for the three parameters discussed earlier. Actual data from 1968 to 2002 are used for training and the data for years 2003-2005 are used to test the GP model. We have limited ourselves to these data ranges so that we could compare our results with the existing ones in the literature. The estimation GP for the model is formulated as a nonlinear optimisation problem and it is solved numerically.",
