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
