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.
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.
