Pre-lecture activity

Please read sections 4.1 and 4.2 from the book. Main goal is that you’re aware of the main concepts we’ll be discussing in class. This should make it easier for you to understand alternative methods and practical issues that will be discussed and to compare the alternative methods with the approaches from section 4.2.

Note that it is assumed that linear regression is something you know from your BSc. In this course we’re not going into the statistical background as discussed in the book.

Post-lecture activity

Read chapter 1 and section 3.5 of the book. After studying the lecture slides and these sections of the book, you should be able to answer the questions about Trip Generation in the post-lecture exercises of Demand Modelling. The answers can be downloaded from the same page.
