QUESTION 2
[24 Marks)
The following Statements are true or false. Write true (T) if the answer is correct or
false (F) if the answer is incorrect.
2.1 There is a higher propensity to travel in households with private vehicle than those
without.
[2 Marks]
2.2 Since travel is a function of human activity, it was found out that most trips are rarely
generated from home.
[2 Marks]
2.3 Cordon surveys-external, use direct interviews or pre-paid postcards at designated
survey points.
[2 Marks]
2.4 Trips generated by residential zones are treated inseparately from non-home end of a
trip.
[2 Marks]
2.5 Generally, for a more representative sample size interview; low density residential
areas can have a larger sample than a densely populated center.
[2 Marks]
2.6 Cordon surveys-external, is disadvantageous in that they reduce travel delay and
requires few enumerators.
[2 Marks]
2.7 Trip generation analysis should be done concurrently with trip purpose. [2 Marks]
2.8 A residential zone is rarely complementary to an employment zone because the first is
supplying workers while the second is supplying jobs.
[2 Marks]
2.9 The Lowry research model was an approach taken to investigate an urban form as
represented by a land-use model.
[2 Marks]
2.10 To support sustainable urban development, transportation planning must shift away
from a car-oriented mobility planning paradigm and toward an accessibility-based paradigm
