G5-MODAL SPLIT

Question 1

The third stage in travel demand modeling

Answer 1

MODAL SPLIT

Question 2

modes make use of road space more efficiently than private transport.

Answer 2

PUBLIC TRANSPORT

Question 3

-Highly flexible
-More comfortable and convenient travel
-Better accessibility

Answer 3

PRIVATE TRANSPORT

Question 4

FACTORS INFLUENCING THE CHOICE OF MODE

Answer 4

1. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE TRIP MAKER
2. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE JOURNEY
3. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE TRANSPORT FACILITY

Question 5

-car availability and/or ownership;
-possession of a driving license;
-household structure (young couple, couple with children, retired people etc.);
-income;
-decisions made elsewhere, for example the need to use a car at work, take children to school, etc;
-residential density.

Answer 5

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE TRIP MAKER

Question 6

-The trip purpose; for example, the journey to work is normally easier to undertake by public transport than other journeys because of its regularity and the adjustment possible in the long run;
-Time of the day when the journey is undertaken.
-Late trips are more difficult to accomAmodate by public transport.

Answer 6

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE JOURNEY

Question 7

There are two types of factors. One is quantitative and the other is qualitative.

Answer 7

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE TRANSPORT FACILITY

Question 8

-relative travel time: in-vehicle, waiting and walking times by each mode;
-relative monetary costs (fares, fuel and direct costs);
-availability and cost of parking

Answer 8

QUANTITATIVE FACTORS

Question 9

-comfort and convenience
reliability and regularity
-protection, security

Answer 9

QUALITATIVE FACTORS

Question 10

TYPES OF MODAL SPLIT MODELS

Answer 10

-TRIP-END MODAL SPLIT MODEL
-TRIP INTERCHANGE MODAL SPLIT MODEL
-LOGIT MODEL ANALYSIS
-BIINARY LOGIT MODEL
-MULTINOMIAL LOGIT MODEL

Question 11

Traditionally, the objective of transportation planning was to forecast the growth in demand for car trips so that investment could be planned to meet the demand.

Answer 11

TRIP-END MODAL SPLIT MODEL

Question 12

This is the post-distribution model that modal split is applied after the distribution stage.

Answer 12

TRIP INTERCHANGE MODAL SPLIT MODEL

Question 13

model is the simplest form of mode choice, where the travel choice between two modes is made.

Answer 13

BIINARY LOGIT MODEL

Question 14

Social benefits of public transport

Answer 14

• Less congestion on the road
• Less accidents
• Travel at low cost
• Fuel is used more efficiently
• Having a particular schedule, frequency, etc.

Question 15

In growth factor models, the are multiplied by growth factors to yield horizon year trip interchange.

Answer 15

BASE YEAR TRIP INTERCHANGES

Question 16

This method utilized a different growth factor for each zone to predict inter zonal trips

Answer 16

AVERAGE GROWTH FACTOR METHOD

Question 17

It is one of the most important classic models in transport planning because of the key role played by public transport in policy making.

Answer 17

MODE CHOICE

Question 18

Mode choice is strongly influenced by two main factors.

Answer 18

• TRIP PURPOSE
• TIME OF THE DAY

Question 19

characteristics of transport facility

Answer 19

• RELATIVE TRAVEL TIME
• RELATIVE MONETARY COST
• AVAILABILITY AND COST OF PARKING

Question 20

A process used in transportation planning where traffic volumes are assigned in steps or increments.

Answer 20

INCREMENTAL ASSIGNMENT

Question 21

It attempts to approximate an equilibrium solution by iterating between all-or-nothing traffic loadings and recalculating link travel times based on a congestion function that reflects link capacity.

Answer 21

CAPACITY RESTRAINT ASSIGNMENT

Question 22

It is a transportation planning and geographic information system (GIS) software developed by Caliper Corporation.

Answer 22

TRANSCAD
