Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Using a hypothetical set of production and attraction values for three zones, model the trip distribution using both the growth factor and gravity models, and compare the results.

💡 Hint: Use real numbers for matrices and show calculations.

Challenge 2 Hard

Analyze a situation where a new freeway is constructed between two zones. How would you expect it to affect the trip distribution? Explain using both models.

💡 Hint: Connect how travel time and costs influence commuting behavior.
