Abstract

This study compares two optimized Triple Exponential Smoothing (TES) forecasting models for predicting the number of Indonesian train passengers on Java: TES optimized with the GSSMV algorithm (TES-GSSMV) and TES optimized with a genetic algorithm (TES-Genetics). Using 124 time-series data points, both models estimate TES parameters (alpha, beta, gamma) and are evaluated using MAPE. Results show TES-Genetics achieves better prediction accuracy than TES-GSSMV, with a MAPE improvement of 1.393%, so TES-Genetics is selected as the best forecasting optimization model and its alpha, beta, gamma parameters are used for final passenger predictions.
