In this work, we describe a practical study of car import planning based on the monthly car registrations in Austria. We model the task as a data driven forecasting problem and we implement four different prediction approaches. One utilizes a seasonal ARIMA model, while the other is based on LSTM-RNN and both compared to a linear and seasonal baselines. In our experiments, we evaluate the 33 different brands by predicting the number of registrations for the next month and for the year to come.enAutomotive industryData-driven expert systemsCar brand recommendationLinear methodsNonlinear methodsDeep learningCustomer demandText/Journal Article10.1515/itit-2017-00402196-7032
