Given the data provided on three zones, use the gravity model to distribute the forecasted trip
productions and attractions among the three zones. Calibrate the model first using the base-year
data which requires the determination of a socioeconomic factor after the first iteration which is
equal to (Tij Observed/Tij Calculated) then complete a second iteration using the socioeconomic
factor in the calculations to assure your model equals the base year trips. Then apply the model
with the calculated socioeconomic factor to the horizon year to determine the trips between
zones. For the forecasted conditions, complete only two iterations of the gravity model. (20 pts)
Using the data provided, use the Detroit Model to update the Tij Matrix (2 iterations only). Use
the ratio of the horizon year and the base year Productions as the growth factor in the i direction
and the corresponding attractions ratio as the growth factor for the j direction. (10 pts)
