8 types of models:

Supply models
Demand models
Assignment models
Equilibrium models
Gravity models (Distribution)
Discrete choice model
Aggregated models
Disaggregated models

What type of models are suitable for the following scenarios?

1. Examining land use-transportation interaction?

Assignment models
You have some limitations
Some other facilities you have to go near that facilities
Some land should be kept for landscaping
Some green areas

2. Mutual interdependence of demand, flows and costs

Assignment models
You can do everything

3. Estimating transport demand in case of short term travel decisions for route choice
and departure time choice

Discrete models
When you go somewhere, you take the route and notice the departure time.

4. Transport models that enlighten spatial accumulation

Disaggregated models
All the states of other government
Governments usually use this

5. Representing public transport services

Supply models
All the facilities
 6. Prediction of future travel necessity

Gravity models
Forecast and distribution

7. Accident rates in different tools, travel demand into user classes, and travel behavior

Disaggregated models
According to user classes they disaggregate. If you consider only high income class,
doesn’t become accurate.

8. Understanding balance between particular O-Ds transport demand and

transportation market price

Equilibrium models
Related to zone

9. Prediction of activity location and production levels

Assignment models
You do this prediction first and they you apply it. What police you need

10. Estimating trips generation and their distribution

Demand models
Captures everything

Discussion from lecture

1. Illustrating the scenarios for travel trip production and attraction in district A

2. Illustrating the trip generation and distribution for district B for meeting the total
needs of the district

Assignment model – there are some other needs of the district. Household,
manufacturing. To consider all these need to provide some kind of assignment.

3. Suitable modes and routes for passengers and freights (cargo) movements

Discrete – for passengers.

Disaggregated model can be used for routes
Freight – can use
