Question 2a) The factors that influence travel demand are

a) Land use pattern - this influences travel demand, because

depending on the land use pattern and
density, the trip lenth, mode
choice and congestion patterns can vary.

b) Socieo economic factors - age, gender of traveler, household

income. These are important because
based on these factors, certain
travel related decisions like commuting to work, distance to
commute to
work , choice of mode are made

============================================================================
=======

b) we need to determine the O-D matrix

We are given the P-A table for different zones. We are given the
travel times between zones and the F
values for different travel
times. These are

We know our K matrix is 1 in all cells

ouf F matrix can be developed using Table Q2b and Table 5 and is
shown below

So according to gravity model

where

Tij = number of trips that are produced in zone I and

attracted to zone J

Pi = total number of trips produced in zone I

Aj = number of trips attracted to Zone J

Fij = a value which is an inverse function of travel

time

Kij = socio economic adjustment factor for

interchange ij - this is given to us

So we can calculate our

AjFijKij matrix as follows

Now our O-D matrix first iteration is got as follows

T11 = (P1 * A1 * F11

* 1)/ 34100

T12 = (P1 * A2 * F12

* 1)/ 34100

T13 = (P1 * A3 * F13

* 1)/ 34100

T21 = (P2 * A1 * F21

* 1)/ 35280

T22 = (P2 * A2 * F22

* 1)/ 35280

T23 = (P2 * A3 * F23

* 1)/ 35280

T31 = (P3 * A1 * F31

* 1)/ 25670

T32 = (P3 * A2 * F32

* 1)/ 25670

T33 = (P3 * A3 * F33

* 1)/ 25670

So in our 1st iteration we get

So clearly our Attractions dont match up our original P-A table.

So we have to do another iteration.

So we have to calculate the new

(AjFijKij). To calculate this,
calculate the column factor and adjust the O-D
matrix, then
calculate row -factor on the adjusted matrix and then again get the
O-D matrix. So we have

So now our Productions are matching the Productions from P-A

table.

The attractions are also very close to the Attractions from the
original P-A table i.e within 1 trip.

So our final O-D table =

ii) Yes trips from above seems to be a valid solution. For

example from Zone 1 it takes longest to travel to
zone3, which is
why zone 1 to zone 3 trips are low.

So the O-D matrix estimated by our gravity model is

justifiable.
