Problem 4 (15%) It is known that 5000 automobile trips are generated in a large residential area ...
2. In a 1-hour period, 1100 vehicle-based shopping trips leave a large residential area for two shopping plazas. A joint shopping-trip mode-destination choice logit model is estimated, providing the following coefficients: Variable Auto Coefficient Bus Coefficient Auto Constant 0.25 0.00 Travel Time in Minutes -0.40 -0.50 Commercial Floor Space 0.013 0.013 (in thousands of ft) Initial travel times to shopping centers 1 and 2 are as follows: By Auto Travel Time (in minutes) To shopping plaza 1 To shopping plaza...
Problem 2: A total of 725 auto-mode social/recreational trips are made from an origin (residential area) during the peak hour. A logit model estimation is made, and three factors were found to influence the destination choice: () population at the destination, in thousands (coefficient 0.17), (2) distance from origin to destination, in miles (coefficient-0.23) and (3) square feet of amusement floor space (movie theaters, video game centers, etc.), in thousands (coefficient = 0.10). Four possible destinations have the following characteristics...
Consider a residential area and two shopping centers that are possible destinations. From 2:00 to 3:00PM on Sunday afternoon, 900 vehicle-based shopping trips leave the residential area for the two shopping centers. A joint mode and destination choice logit model (choice of either auto or bus and shopping center I or 2) is estimated, giving the coefficients in Table 4. Initial travel times to cach shopping center are shown in Table 5 3. Table 3, Coefficients for Joint Mode-Destination Choice...
