Question 1

What do trip productions refer to?

  • Trips drawn to a zone
  • Trips generated from a zone
  • Depreciation of trips

💡 Hint: Think about where trips are created.

Question 2

Which of the following functions represents the disincentive to travel?

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given the following trip productions: 150, 160, 170 and attractions: 140, 155, 165, use the gravity model to compute the trip matrix based on a cost matrix. Demonstrate the iterations needed to achieve convergence.

💡 Hint: Set your initial balancing factor this time and keep recalculating until you reach minimal error.

Question 2

If the cost matrix indicates high costs between two zones, how should that affect trip distribution according to the gravity model? Provide an example.

💡 Hint: Consider how cost decreases travel utility.
