The main objective of this study is to present an overview of the travel distribution modelling for transportation planning. Mainly there are four stages model that is trip generation, trip distribution, modal split and trip assignment. After the first stage of transportation planning i.e. trip generation, it is necessary to determine the direction of flow. The number of trips generated in various zones of the area under study must be proportioned to the various zones to which these trips are attracted. These generated trips from each zone are then distributed to all other zones based on the choice of destination i.e. Trip Distribution. This paper gives a framework for the trip distribution for the city of Vadodara based on Household Survey, as the data is main input for generating O-D matrix. The trips are combination of work trips, educational trips, shopping trips, recreational trips and business trips. This study covered 19 wards of Vadodara city in which it is divided by the local authorities. The study methodology developed for gravity model calibration. The cost matrix (travel time and distance) is derived from household survey data as perceived by users. The gravity model was calibrated for aggregate trips and various trip types based on types of deterrence functions. Based on occupancy rates the trips were converted to vehicles trips. The forecasted O-D matrix and desire line help for planning transportation facilities were derived. A moderate size city selected through which we can work for such other cities in future keeping this work in consideration. The calibrated gravity model is used to forecast trip distribution and accommodate new landmark to be developed.
