    Study Notes

    Trip Area and Demand Modeling

    • Time is NOT a parameter utilized to detail the nature and extent of a given trip area.
    • The term used to define a unit of measurement for travel behavior involving movement from a single origin to a single destination is a trip.
    • One of the complicating factors in the demand modeling process is the variability of traveler behavior.
    • The purpose of demand modeling is to predict the number of trips that will be made under a given set of circumstances.
    • The number of trips, trip length, and travel mode must be first identified and quantified in demand modeling to ensure accurate results.
    • The parameters utilized in detailing the nature and extent of a given trip area include:
      • Trip length
      • Trip purpose
      • Travel mode
      • Time of day
      • Day of week
