The demand for transportation in urban areas is influenced by the decisions people make about where to live in relation to their places of employment, shopping, entertainment, educational institutions, and other vital activities. Rapid urbanization in Indian cities contributes to an increase in population, congested traffic, noise pollution, and air pollution in the cities. In order to predict travel demand in urban areas, a four-stage model is used. Trip based approach is the conventional method to determine travel demand in cities.
