A METHOD TO SUBSTITUTE CALIBRATION IN GRAVITY MODELS

This article illustrates a method which gives direct results of travel time factors (trip resistance) in gravity models by the use of o-d trip interchange data. The application of the time consuming calibration technique becomes virtually obsolete by the usage of this method. /Author/TRRL/
