Transcribed Image Text:### Balancing HBW Trip Production and Attraction Tables
A zone's Home-Based Work (HBW) trip production and attraction tables have been determined as shown below. The total production is not equal to the total attraction. The objective is to balance the trip productions and attractions accordingly.
#### HBW Trip Production Table
| Zone \(i\) | \(P_i\) |
|------------|---------|
| 1 | 300 |
| 2 | 100 |
| 3 | 200 |
| **Total** | **600** |
#### HBW Trip Attraction Table
| Zone \(j\) | \(A_j\) |
|------------|---------|
| 1 | 150 |
| 2 | 300 |
| 3 | 350 |
| **Total** | **800** |
The production table (left) shows the total number of trips produced in each zone \(i\), while the attraction table (right) shows the total number of trips attracted to each zone \(j\).
### Explanation
- **Zone \(i\)** and **Zone \(j\)** represent different zones.
- **\(P_i\)** refers to the number of trips produced in zone \(i\).
- **\(A_j\)** refers to the number of trips attracted to zone \(j\).
- The total production (\(600\) trips) is less than the total attraction (\(800\) trips).
#### Balancing the Tables
To balance the tables, the following must be achieved:
1. **Adjustment of Productions or Attractions:**
- The total amount of trips produced should match the total amount of trips attracted.
##### Methods to Balance
1. **Scale Productions to Match Attractions:**
- Adjust the production values proportionally to match the attraction totals. For example, increasing each production value so that their sum matches 800.
2. **Scale Attractions to Match Productions:**
- Adjust the attraction values proportionally to match the production total. For example, decreasing each attraction value so that their sum matches 600.
Either method involves applying scaling factors to adjust the values, ensuring the new totals for production and attraction are equal, thus achieving balance.
