- 31. Answer 1 Answer: B. Estimating the number of trips that will originate in a particular residential area is called trip generation. A modal-split estimates the number of automobile, bus, train, and bicycle trips in a particular area. Trip assignment predicts how trips will be distributed among alternate routes.
- 33. Answer 2 Answer: A. Answer B describes LOS A. Answer C describes LOS E. Answer D describes LOS F. LOS B is described as having stable flow, speed somewhat restricted, short delays, and LOS D is described as unstable flow, tolerable but fluctuating operating speed, long delays.
- 35. Answer 3 Answer: C. Public transit systems, like most transportation systems including road networks, are rarely self-sustaining and are generally heavily subsidized by government.
- 37. Answer 4 Answer: D. In transportation planning, the mode refers to the type of vehicle used for conveyance.
- 39. Answer 5 Answer: D Traffic analysis zones are geographic units that divide a planning region into similar areas of land use. The other options are all geographic subunits, but are not used in travel demand modeling.
- 41. Answer 6 Answer: C. The Federal Highway Act of 1956, also known as the National Defense Highway Act, resulted in the interstate highway system. Historic and scenic roadways were not considered until the 1991 Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act. ISTEA included funding for scenic byways and historic preservation. Environmental laws began with the 1969 National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA). Stronger environmental reviews stem from NEPA and ISTEA.
