Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions

Question 1 Easy

What is the primary purpose of the doubly constrained growth factor model?

💡 Hint: Think about why we need to manage trips coming from and going to different locations.

Question 2 Easy

Define what is meant by 'balancing factor'.

💡 Hint: Consider how we might need to correct our data to fit actual numbers.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given productions of 150 trips and attractions of 150 trips for three zones, calculate the balancing factors and determine the trips in a trip matrix using the doubly constrained model.

💡 Hint: Start from setting b to 1, and remember to frequently update the trip totals based on calculated factors.

Challenge 2 Hard

Analyze a scenario where only one constraint (trip production) is known. Discuss the effects on trip distribution and the model’s accuracy.

💡 Hint: Consider the implications of having incomplete data on modeling and trips.
