Question 1.
What is the purpose of a trip matrix?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how data is organized.
Question 2.
Name one of the models used in trip distribution.
Show hintHide hint
We discussed two main methods earlier.
3Question 3.
What does trip distribution refer to?
- The allocation of trips between zones
- The total number of trips in a region
- The population density of zones
Show hintHide hint
Consider the methods we covered in class.
4Question 4.
True or False: The growth factor model assumes different growth rates for all zones.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Recall the model's characteristics.
Question 5.
Using a hypothetical set of production and attraction values for three zones, model the trip distribution using both the growth factor and gravity models, and compare the results.
Show hintHide hint
Use real numbers for matrices and show calculations.
Question 6.
Analyze a situation where a new freeway is constructed between two zones. How would you expect it to affect the trip distribution? Explain using both models.
Show hintHide hint
Connect how travel time and costs influence commuting behavior.
