Description for Dynamic Trip Modelling
Hardback. Walking from a parked car to a shop, driving to a planned or unplanned shopping centre and virtual exchanges through the Internet are all part of 21st century trips in human activity spaces. This work shows how such a diversity of trips can be linked by a universal vision of spatial interaction modelling. Series: Geojournal Library. Num Pages: 364 pages, biography. BIC Classification: KNPR; UGK. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 297 x 210 x 22. Weight in Grams: 1600.
The thesis of this book is that there are one set of equations that can define any trip between an origin and destination. The idea originally came from work that I did when applying the hydrodynamic analogy to study congested traffic flows in 1981. However, I was disappointed to find out that much of the mathematical work had already been done decades earlier. When I looked for a new application, I realised that shopping centre demand could be like a longitudinal wave, governed by centre opening and closing times. Further, a solution to the differential equation was the gravity model ... Read more

Reviews for Dynamic Trip Modelling
From the reviews: "It combines in a single volume much of the work that Baker has been conducting since 1985 on his RASTT model. … the book contains sufficient ideas for readers to bridge this gap themselves and be inspired by the richness of the ideas discussed." (Harry Timmermans, Journal of Regional Science, Vol. 48 ... Read more
