Abstract:
The present work, about Transport Planning, and more
specifically, about trip distribution, introduces a disaggre
gated study of the transportation demand in Campina Grande,
a 200,000 inhabitant town in Northeast of Brazil. The data
used here belong to a survey taken place in 1978, by GEIP0T,
the brazilian agency for Transport Planning. The population
has been divided in five income levels. Then, 0-D matrices
were obtained for each of those groups. The study also presents
two techniques to show numerically the effect of disaggregation
on trip pattern: Transinformation and Linear
Correlation Among the several trip distribution models mentioned
here, the gravity model with friction factor is used
in its aggregated and disaggregated forms, showing better
results for the latter. Finally, it is important to regard
this report as a contribution to the study of the in-site
transportation problem, for the data used refer to the popjj
lation of Campina Grande.
