Assignment set 2: Trip Distribution Growth Factors

For the three trip distribution methods listed above and the data provided below solve for a trip flow matrix for 2010 based on the data provided.

Write-up: For each method first provide a write-up of the givens, assumptions and formulas for each method and the steps required to reach an iterative solution. For the notations and formulas, I would suggest that you write them out by hand. Usually this is much quicker. Then solve each. For the solution print-out an annotated spreadsheet (annotations mean label things as you go). Annotations can be either by hand or by typing directly on the spreadsheet.

Uniform Method: 

Givens

Assumption

Formulas and Notation
