Assignment:
It was recognised that this method of assigning development trips would result in one route being used between each zone pair. In addition, there should be no reassignment of existing trips to avoid increasing congestion resulting from the assignment of development trips. PBA considered that this would represent a worst case for congestion. This could be the case for the junctions on routes used by development traffic. It could underestimate traffic at junctions which would be affected by reassigning traffic and junctions on other routes which would be expected to be used between certain zone pairs.
