Nested demand gap calculation

For gap calculation, inputs are used that are defined in a Nested demand procedure. You need to define a reference to such a procedure. The cost-weighed relative deviation of current demand from the demand of the last iteration is calculated.

where:

Tnew

Demand of current iteration

Told

Demand of last iteration

Ua

Utility of alternative

a

Index of all demand strata and alternatives (modes, time-of-day choice, destination zones)

A prerequisite for gap calculation is that the values of utilities in the Nested demand procedure are smaller than or equal to zero.
