Estimation of person trip pattern through Markov chain. Paper presented at the 5th International Symposium on the Theory of Traffic Flow and Transportation, Berkeley, 16-18 June, 1971.

In the transportation planning in the urban area, the distribution of bases and the number of the first trips by trip purposes are important, The origin-destination pattern of person trips described as Markov chains will be useful in estimation of future trips pattern by land use plan. A base defined as the starting places of the first person trips in a day.
