Using this process, trip matrices are generated from the distribution matrix of the orders from the spatial distribution.
1. Make sure that the Tour-based freight generation and distribution procedure has been calculated.
2. To the procedure sequence, at the position of your choice, add the procedure Tour-based freight trip generation of the Demand model category (Setting up and starting the procedure sequence).
3. In the row of the inserted procedure, click the button in the Reference object(s) column.
The Demand strata selection window opens.
4. In the Select demand model list, click the demand model the demand strata belong to.
5. In the Demand strata selection list, select the demand strata you would like to calculate the trip generation for.
6. Confirm with OK.
The demand strata selected are listed in the Reference object(s) column.
7. Make sure the added procedure is highlighted. Then, in the Operations section, click the Edit button.
The window Parameters: Trip generation opens.
