 Trips originating from zone 1,2,3 of a study area are 91,115 and 101 respectively and those terminating at zones
1 1,2,3 are given as 90,96 and 121 respectively. If the growth factor is 1.37 and the cost matrix is as shown below,

find the expanded origin-constrained growth trip table.

 The base year trip matrix for a study area consisting of three zones is given below.

The productions from the zone 1,2,3,4 and 5 for the horizon year is expected to grow to202,195,178,189 and 165 respectively.

the basic parameters of Greenshield model are free flow speed and jam density and they are obtanied as

free flow speed U f =44.11 km/hr

jam density k j=581.5 km/hr
