Question 1

What is the formula for the Uniform Growth Factor model?

Tij = f * tij
Tij = tij / f
Tij = tij + f

💡 Hint: Think about how you increase counts.

Question 2

True or False: The Doubly Constrained model allows for different growth rates for trips originating and terminating.

True
False

💡 Hint: Consider the flexibility of this method.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

If the original trip counts for zones are 60, 70, and 80, and the growth factor is 2.0, calculate the new trip counts. Then, explain the implication of using such a high growth factor.

💡 Hint: Double the original numbers and reflect on what this means for planning.

Challenge 2 Hard

Using the doubly constrained model, you have a production total of 250 with a new attraction total expected to be 230. Describe the steps you would take to adjust your trip distribution model accordingly.

💡 Hint: Think about balancing weights... you want both sides to equal!
