Trip rate=0.46+ 1.96 × NPERSON + 1.66 x HINCOME Where NPERSON = no. of persons per household (= 5 for 5 or more persons in household); HINCOME = level of household income (= 0 for low income, = 1 for medium income, = 2 for high income) Calculate the forecasted number of trips for each household type using this estimated trip rate. (c) Compare the assumptions and limitations of each method.

(a) Calculate the forecasted number of trips for each combination of the number of persons per household
and the level of household income.
(b) Alternatively, trip rate can be estimated using the following linear regression equation.
Trip rate=0.46+ 1.96 × NPERSON + 1.66 x HINCOME
Where
NPERSON = no. of persons per household (= 5 for 5 or more persons in household);
HINCOME = level of household income (= 0 for low income, = 1 for medium income, = 2 for high
income)
Calculate the forecasted number of trips for each household type using this estimated trip rate.
(c) Compare the assumptions and limitations of each method.
