Question: Problem 2 ( 1 2 points ) On the evening of May 8 , Taylor Swift is scheduled to perform a concert at the GW

Problem 2(12 points)
On the evening of May 8, Taylor Swift is scheduled to perform a concert at the GW
Charles E. Smith Center. The District Department of Transportation is tasked with
estimating the travel demand from Rosslyn to Foggy Bottom for the concert on this
specific day during rush hours.
[Trip Generation] A simple linear regression model is estimated for the recreational
trip generation in the evening peak hour. The model is
Number of peak-hour concert trips per household
=0.2+0.003(household annual income in thousand dollars)
+0.1(number of youngsters in the household)
Suppose 10,000 households in total in Rosslyn, with 2,000,5,000, and 3,000 in type I, II
and III:
Predict the total number of concert trips from Rosslyn to Foggy Bottom in the evening
peak hour.
[Mode Choices] All concert trips are made either by auto or metro. A logit model
estimation is made, and three factors were found to influence the mode choice: (1) travel
time, in minutes (coefficient =-0.1); (2) parking fee needed, in US dollar (coefficient =
-0.2); and (3) tolls into DC, in dollars (coefficient =-0.2). The specific values of the two
modes in each aspect are as follows,
Determine the numbers of trips using auto and metro, respectively.
