Notes on Input Assumptions
- Figures are estimates for daily weekday trips.
Total trip pie (all modes) is estimated on each resident generating 3.3 trips per weekday. - PT trips are based on a PT=25% level. This level is likely to vary across LGAs, and be much lower for LGAs further away from Brisbane. One can substitute lower or higher values here.
- Estimated car trips are simply Total Trip Pie minus PT trips.
- Roads like the Gateway motorway carry about 100,000 trips per day
