QUESTION 5: Consider trip distribution within 5 zones in an area. The total trip production from zone 1 is 1000. The travel times from zone 1 to zones 2, 3, 4 and 5 are 5, 10, 20, and 30 minutes, respectively. The trip attraction to zones 2, 3, 4 and 5 are 50, 200, 75, and 450, respectively. Assume that the number of trips produced from zone 1 to zones 2, 3, 4 and 5 is inversely proportional to the inter-zonal travel time. (a) Estimate the number of trips from zone 1 to zones 2, 3, 4 and 5 using the gravity model.

- A bridge has been constructed between the mainland and an island. The total cost (excluding tolls) to travel across the bridge is expressed as C- 50 + 0.5V, where V is the number of veh/hr and Cis the cost/vehicle in cents. The demand for travel across the bridge is V- 2500 - 10C. (a) Determine the volume of traffic across the bridge. (b) If a toll of 25 cents is added, what is the volume across the bridge? What volume would be expected with a 50 cent increase? 155 (c) A tollbooth is to be added, thus reducing the travel time to cross the bridge. The new cost function is C- 50 + 0.2V.
