TRIP GENERATION
1. Establish the relationship between house hold size and car ownership for the data.
Howse hold (in lakhs) 5 8 12 18 25
Car ownership (in 1000’s) 26 34 42 61 74
TRIP DISTRIBUTION 1. Obtain the future trip table by
a. Uniform Growth Factor
b. Average growth factor

2. The growth factors can be obtained from the matrix given below.
Zones 1 2 3 4
Trips produced Present 150 90 180 80
Future 300 170 270 240
Trips attracted Present 120 100 150 130
Future 180 300 300 200
3. The total trips produced in and attracted to the three zones A,B,C of a survey area in the
design year are tabulated as:
Zone Trips produced Trips attracted
A 2000 3000
B 3000 4000
C 4000 2000
It is known that the trips between two zones are inversely proportional to the second power
of the travel time between zones, which is uniformly 20 minutes. If the trip interchange
between zones B and C is known to be 600, calculate the trip interchange between A and
b, A and C, Band A, C and B.
TRIP ASSIGNMENT
4. In order to relieve congestion on an urban street network a motorway is prodused to be
constructed. The travel time from one zone centroid to another via the proposed
motorway is estimated to be 10 minutes whereas the time for the same travel via the
existing streets is 18minutes. The flow between the two zone centroids is 1000 vehicles
per hour. Assign the flow between the new motorway and existing streets.
MODEL SPLIT
5. Determine the best mode using the data, when the weightages for cost, invehicle travel
time (IVTT) and out of vehicle travel time (OVTT) are –1, -4 and –2.
Rail Truck
Cost 4 Rs/ ton 5 Rs / ton
IVTT 2.5 days 2 days
OVTT 1 day 0.3 day
