Fundamentals of Transportation/Destination Choice/Additional Problems

Additional Questions

 * 1) What are the different kinds of models for trip distribution? How do they differ?
 * 2) What factors do conventional Trip Distribution models neglect?
 * 3)  In a day, how many minutes are spent traveling for the average person, traveling to work? Why might this be stable, not stable?
 * 4) Do travelers have a travel time tolerance or a travel time budget?
 * 5) What affects travel impedance?
 * 6) If impedance increases, will willingness to travel increase or decrease? Is a person more likely to travel to a closer place or a farther place?
 * 7) Why does willingness to travel have a negative exponential form?
 * 8) Briefly describe the gravity model? How might the gravity model be extended to depend on more than just  size (opportunities) and distance (impedance)?
 * 9) Why is balancing a matrix an iterative procedure?
 * 10) What importance does impedance play in balancing iterations
 * 11) Give two functions of impedance (f(Cij)) used in gravity models.
 * 12) How do you calculate impedance between zones?
 * 13) What is congested travel time?
 * 14) Conventional trip distribution models are estimated for which mode?
 * 15) How is trip distribution applied?
 * 16) What can a trip distribution curve tell you about maximum and average trip times and willingness to take trips?
 * 17) What factors are multiplied to give a resulting trip distribution curve
