Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

Home Courses Transportation and Spatial Modelling Subjects 2. Demand modelling

Demand models aim at describing peoples’ behaviour that leads actual trip making between origins and destinations using specific modes in specific periods. Common modelling approach is to divide this process into three components:

  • Trip generation: how many trips are being made?
  • Trip distribution or destination choice: where are they going to?
  • Modal split or mode choice: which mode are they using?

In case of 24-hour models a fourth component is introduced: Time of day or Period choice, in which period of the day do they travel?
