Question

An intercity Model is given as follows
Where
Tij= daily demand for passengers between i and j (both directions)
Pi=Population of city i in thousands, where (Pi > Pj)
Pj= Population of city j in thousands
RDij = Minimum distance by road between I and j in Kms
αc = 3.6 x 10 -4


Find the total intercity passengers per day between the cities of Soweto and Mamelodi when the population of Soweto is 1.6 Million and the Population of Mamelodi 800,000. The road distance between them is 112kms.


If the population of Soweto is estimated to grow by 2% P.a. and that of Mamelodi by 1.2% p.a. What will be the growth rate of passenger travel.


If a new road is to be constructed in 10 years’ time which will reduce the distance between Soweto and Mamelodi to 80Kms.
