Group 5 - QUIZ With Answers

Accurate travel demand forecasting is crucial for efficient transportation planning. The approach most commonly used to forecast travel demand is the four-step process of trip generation, trip distribution, modal choice, and traffic assignment. Factors such as land use patterns, socioeconomic characteristics, and transportation system attributes influence urban travel demand. Traffic analysis zones are used as the basic unit for analyzing travel patterns and are often aggregated into larger districts for analysis.

transportation system under specific conditions.True
8. Demand forecasting techniques for travel demand range from simple extrapolation to
sophisticated computerized processes involving data gathering and mathematical
modeling. True
9. Travelers do not consider attributes such as travel time, cost, convenience, comfort, and
safety when deciding to travel and which mode to use. False
10. Urban travel demand studies require extensive databases obtained through interviews
and surveys. True
11. Intercity travel demand data is mostly individualized and considers factors such as city

12. The availability of data for travel demand forecasting has improved with organizations
like the Bureau of Transportation Statistics and the Census Bureau's American
Community Survey. True
13. Land-use characteristics play a minor role in determining traffic generation for urban
travel demand. False

Quiz. III - Higher Order QA


16. Why are accurate travel demand forecasts important for transportation planning?
- Accurate travel demand forecasts are important for efficient transportation
planning as they enable the development of infrastructure that supports
community needs and promotes sustainable transportation systems.
17. What factors influence demand for urban travel?
- Factors such as location and intensity of land use, socioeconomic characteristics
of people, and the extent, cost, and quality of transportation services influence
demand for urban travel.
18. Why are traffic analysis zones (TAZ) important in travel forecasting analysis?
- Traffic analysis zones serve as the basis for analyzing travel movements within,
into, and out of the urban area. They can be aggregated into larger units called
districts for specific analytical techniques or analysis.
19. How are land use estimates related to travel demand in travel forecasting?
- Land use estimates are developed in conjunction with travel forecasting to
understand the relationship between land use patterns and travel demand.
20. What is the four-step process commonly used in travel demand forecasting?
- The four-step process includes trip generation, trip distribution, modal choice, and
traffic assignment.
