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.
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!
