Question

A small city has three residential areas R1, R2, and R3 with 2500, 2000, and 3500 workers respectively. It also has two employment zones E1 and E2 with 3000 and 5000 job opportunities. The inter-zonal travel time matrix by auto in minutes is given below. Using the Potential Model, compute (a) the actual zonal accessibility values, and (b) the relative zonal accessibility of the residential zones assuming the travel time exponent b=1.0 Inter-Zonal Travel-Time Matrix Origin zone (i) Workers Destination zone (j) 1 2 1 2500 12 14 2 2000 9 11 3 3500 8 10

Inter-Zonal Travel-Time Matrix

Origin zone (i)	Workers	Destination zone (j)
		1	2
1	2500	12	14
2	2000	9	11
3	3500	8	10

Answer 1

Find the actual and relative zonal accessibility of the residential areas assuming that b = 1.0
