Abstract The report examines some of the dynamic properties of the automobile fleet. The focus is not on new-car demand, but rather on the overall behavior of the system. Relationships derived from previous studies have been incorporated and integrated in a single model. This lends empirical credence to the model as well as allowing a test of internal consistency for a group of parametric relationships estimated independently. An additional objective of the work is to test the utility of the Systems Dynamics modeling approach and the DYNAMO software package for a dynamic automotive fleet model.
