Trip Distribution Model

The Trip Distribution Model is a way to estimate how people choose their travel destinations within a city or region. It predicts where travelers want to go based on factors like distance, attractiveness of locations, and travel patterns. Essentially, it helps transportation planners understand which areas generate the most trips and how those trips are spread across different locations, aiding in effective infrastructure and service planning. The model is used to improve traffic management and public transit planning by revealing the flow of people between different zones.
