APPLICABILITY OF TRIP DISTRIBUTION MODELS

Abstract

In this report, five trip-distribution models were applied to journey-to-work trips by road obtained from the six person-trip survey data of five cities in order to examine the applicability of models. The study is summarized as follows: In order to examine the reproducibility, correlation coefficients, and relative error indices were calculated. The effects of the sample size were studied. The effects of the parameter deviation from the optimal values on the estimated trip distribution were examined in six surveys. The effect of zoning composition was examined by applying the models to various zoning systems.
