Data obtained from an analysis of the results of the 1961 Census are used to describe the relationship between place of work and place of residence in Sydney. Inferred movement between areas is studied to determine the relationship between volume of trip interchange, distance travelled and intervening and competing opportunities. A probability of trip interchange based on intervening opportunities is developed and used in an intervening opportunities trip distribution model and also, together with other variables, in a multiple linear regression trip distribution model.
