Abstract
The analysis and forecasting of the areal distribution of journeys usually forms the second stage in the sequential process set out in Chapter 3. Methods of forecasting trip distribution have varied considerably, both in complexity and in the nature of the assumptions which are made about the factors affecting travel patterns. The first part of the chapter briefly examines the growth-factor approach in which the forecast trip distribution is independent of transport-network factors. The remaining sections discuss models whose forecasts are sensitive both to landuse and transport-network factors.
