Today, we are looking at an example of trip distribution using the growth factor model. Can anyone tell me what trip data we have for zones 1, 2, and 3?
The trips originating from zone 1 are 78, from zone 2 are 92, and from zone 3 are 82.
Exactly! And what about the trips terminating at those zones?
They are 88 for zone 1, 96 for zone 2, and 78 for zone 3.
Great! Just remember, understanding this initial data is crucial for applying the growth factor correctly.
Now that we have our trip data, how do we calculate the expanded origin-constrained trip table?
We need to use the growth factor, which in this case is 1.3, to adjust the trip values.
Correct! Can anyone share how we apply this growth factor to calculate the new trip values?
We multiply each trip value by 1.3!
Exactly! This uniform factor helps us expand our trip numbers proportionally across all zones.
Let's do the calculations together. What should the new trip values look like for zone 1?
For zone 1, we take 78 trips and multiply by 1.3 to get 101.4.
Excellent! What about the trips to other zones?
For zone 2, 92 times 1.3 equals 119.6, and for zone 3, it's 106.2.
Let's summarize this. What we found were the new trip totals for each zone!
Now that we have calculated the new trip values, how do we summarize this into a table?
We can organize it visually in a matrix format similar to the one we started with!
Exactly! And remember, each value in the new matrix must reflect the expanded trips for each zone accurately.
With trips to grow, we use a factor to show, '1.3' makes numbers flow!
Imagine a city where every trip counts, and somebody discovers a magic number, '1.3'. Whenever they apply this magic, each city's journey measures how much it can grow!

This section presents an example of applying the growth factor model to calculate the expanded origin-constrained trip table based on given trip data.
The section illustrates how to expand trip information using a growth factor model through a detailed example. Specific origin and destination trip data are provided, alongside calculations to demonstrate the application of a uniform growth factor in trip distribution.
In this section, we delve into a specific example of the growth factor model in trip distribution. The given trip data shows trips originating from zones 1, 2, and 3 as 78, 92, and 82, respectively, with corresponding trips terminating at those zones as 88, 96, and 78. By applying a growth factor of 1.3, we aim to find the expanded origin-constrained trip table. The provided trip matrix indicates the distribution of trips across zones, illustrating how each zone's trip volume is proportionally increased to accommodate expected growth. The calculations apply the growth factor uniformly, ensuring that the total trips from origins and the attracting trips to destinations reflect the original data adjusted for the expected growth.
