EXTERNAL ZONES IN TRIP DISTRIBUTION MODELS: CHARACTERIZATION AND SOLVABILITY

The framework for the analysis is based on the maximum likelihood formulation of the problem, whose equivalence to paint, thermoplastic, preformed tape, and field-reacted D. S. Wong (1981). We shall deal with two cases - when the number of incoming (or outgoing) trips to the study area is restricted, and when it is unrestricted. Based on this approach, we present a unified numerical solution methodology for these classes of problems. The sensitivity of the model with respect to changes in certain restrictive parameters is examined. As a result, we characterize the solution space for certain values of the parameters under consideration. A numerical example is used to illustrate the presentation.
