The only difference between the four-step

traditional approach and the new three-step approach for travel demand and

traffic forecasting is that trip generation and trip distribution were merged

into one step?

A

……………………..route choice is based on the choice rule that travelers will behave

such that total system travel time will be minimized even though travelers may

be able to decrease their own individual travel times by unilaterally changing

routes.

………………represent how the trip is to be made

(by automobile, bus, walking, or bicycling). 

Due

to autonomous vehicles, the free-flow travel time would likely be reduced

because vehicles will be able to travel faster and maintain a high level of

safety. 

Route

choice presents a classic equilibrium problem, because travelers’ route choice

decisions are primarily a function of route travel times, which are determined

by traffic flow—itself a product of route choice decisions. 

The first step in travel demand and

traffic forecasting is……………..

Although linear regression has been a

popular method for estimating trip generation models, there is a problem in

that the estimated linear regression models can produce fractions of trips for

a given time period.

Because fractions of trips are not realistic,

a modeling approach that gives the probability of making a nonnegative-integer

number of trips (0, 1, 2, 3, . . .) may be more appropriate

One such model is the………………….

destination outside the study area.

The

rule of choice underlying system optimization is that travelers will select a

route so as to minimize their personal travel time between the origin and

destination.
