Planners have estimated the following models for the AM Peak Hour
Where:
= Person Trips Originating in Zone
= Person Trips Destined for Zone
= Number of Households in Zone
You are also given the following data
Variable | Dakotopolis | New Fargo |
---|---|---|
10000 | 15000 | |
8000 | 10000 | |
3000 | 5000 | |
2000 | 1500 |
A. What are the number of person trips originating in and destined for each city?
B. Normalize the number of person trips so that the number of person trip origins = the number of person trip destinations. Assume the model for person trip origins is more accurate.
