8.3.2. Example

Try these first

1. 1.

   What is the original number of trips from zone 1?

   Hint

   Refer to the trip data provided.

2. 2.

   What growth factor is used in this example?

   Hint

   The growth factor is mentioned in the section.

3. 3.

   What is the purpose of the growth factor model?

   • To distribute existing trips
   • To estimate future travel demand
   • To measure current traffic volume

   Hint

   It relates to projecting future travel trends based on current data.

4. 4.

   True or False: The growth factor can vary by the zone.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider what the section says about the growth factor application.

5. 5.

   If zone 1 increases its trip generation to 100, how will the expanded trip table look with the same growth factor?

   Hint

   Apply the same model approach we used earlier.

6. 6.

   What considerations might arise if each zone has a different growth factor instead?

   Hint

   Think critically about trip dynamics across zones and the implications for planning.
