4. It is the capacity of transportation infrastructures and modes over a geographically defined transport system and for a specific period of time. 5. It is a model for trip distribution which states that the number of trips between two zones is directly proportional to the number of trip attractions generated by the zone of destination and inversely proportional to a function of time of travel between the two zones. 6. It is expressed as the number of persons or vehicles per unit time that can be expected to travel on a given segment of a transportation system under a given set of land-use, socioeconomic or environmental conditions.

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.
12) List and define the 4 steps of the "4-step travel demand model" used in transportation planning.
1. List the seven categories of transportation organizations, and give one example of each.
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.
Two routes connect a city and suburb. During the peak-hour morning commute, a total of 5000 vehicles travel from the suburb to the city. Route 1 has a 50km/hr speed limit and 5km in length, Route 2 has a 55km/hr speed limit and 4 km in length. Studies show that the total travel time on route 1 increases 2 mins for every extra 500 vehicles added. Mins of travel time on route 2 increase with the square of the no. of vehicles expressed in 000’s. Determine user equilibrium travel times.
Identify and briefly describe the two basic demand forecasting situations in transportation planning.
Answer the following questions based on your own understanding. Use your own words for answering: 1. 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.
Two routes connect an origin-destination pair with performance functions t₁ = 5 + (x₁/2)² and t₂ = 7+ (x2/4)² (with t's in minutes and x's in thousands of vehicles per hour). It is known that at user equilibrium, 75% of the origin-destination demand takes route 1. What percentage would take route 1 if a system-optimal solution were achieved, and how much travel time would be saved?

Q3) A manufacturing plant is to be constructed A manufacturing plant is to be constructed in the city of Ankara, in order to provide a faster service to its major customers in the surrounding area. There are three possible locations the company is considering. The distances (in km) from these three locations to the four major customers are listed in the table below. The transportation cost is approximately 1.00 TL/km. The annualized fixed cost of constructing the plant and the customers' demand (number of trips required per year) are also given in the table. Find the best location for this plant.
