1. Assume that the following goals have been established for a transportation planning study. Goal 1: The transportation system should provide mobility for all segments of the population. Goal 2: The transportation system should minimize the impact on the natural environment. Define at least three objectives for each goal that could be used to achieve the stated purpose. 2. From the sketch below, calculate the interzonal trips due to 450 work trips produced at zone i. There are 750 attractions at zone 1, 400 attractions at zone 2, and 300 attractions at zone 3. The exponent of travel time is 0.6 and the travel times are 9 minutes to zone 1, 5 minutes to zone 2, and 7 minutes to zone 3. Assume all socioeconomic adjustment factors and the value of C are equal to 1.0.

Identify and briefly describe the two basic demand forecasting situations in transportation planning. What are the three factors that affect the demand for urban travel? Define the following terms: (a) home-based work (HBW) trips, (b) home-based other (HBO) trips, (c) non-home-based (NHB) trips, (d) production, (e) attractions, (f) origin, and (g) destination.

3. Enumerate and describe each mode of transportation?
A neighborhood has 180 households with the characteristics shown in the table below. A count model for peak-hour work trips is described in the second table. How many trips do you expect from this neighborhood?
A large residential area has 1500 households with an average household income of $15,000, an average household size of 5.2, and, on the average, 1.2 working members. Using the model below, predict the change in the number of peak-hour social/recreational trips if employment in the area increased by 20% and household income by 10%. number of peak-hour vehicle-based social/recreational trips per household = 0.04 + 0.018(household size) + 0.009(annual household income [in thousands of dollars]) + 0.16(number of nonworking household members) Round off final answers to whole number.
Briefly discuss the difference between the four models of transportation. Explain how they are used in forecasting population and means of transportation that will be using different component of transportation system.
A model for non-work related trips has been developed by the Texas Department of Transportation for Wheeler, Texas. The model is based on the number of trips per household: Number of peak-hour vehicle-based social trips per household = 0.04+0.018*(household size) + 0.009*(annual household income in thousands of dollars) + 0.16*(number of nonworking household members) For the northeast section of Wheeler, the average household has six members and an annual income of $50,000. If each household has one working member, how many peak-hour social trips are predicted?
