Transportation Planning and Modeling Principles
Trip-End Models
Applied prior to trip distribution, these models work better for cases where there’s no modal competition and no traffic congestion. They cannot include modal level of service attributes (travel time, cost, etc.) since no origin-destination (O-D) flows exist.
Trip-Interchange Models
Applied after trip distribution, these models split O-D flows computed by the trip distribution model. Since O-D demand is known, travel times and costs for competing modes can be computed. These models

PROCESSES
A set of interrelated activities that interact and transform inputs into results.
What is a Process?
A process is:
- Repetitive: Processes are created to produce a result and repeat it, at the same time improving it. More repetitions lead to more experience. By improving the process, you multiply the number of times it delivers the desired results.
- Variable: Each time you repeat the process, there are slight variations in the sequence and the time to achieve results. This variation impacts the

Product Organization
Individuals can be classified according to function (marketing/design/etc.) or product. Individuals can be linked by relationships (reporting or financial) or physical layout.
Organizational Structures:
- Functional organization: Divided into functions, e.g., engineering department, sales department (customized products).
- Project organization: Divided into projects with people from every function (start-ups).
- Lightweight Project Matrix: Weak project links, more focus on individual
