A series of programs has been developed especially for educational purposes and to support the lectures on urban and interurban modelling. These programs are collectively called “Teacher‐Friendly Transportation Program/Student Proof Version” or TFTP/SPV. The programs consist of four levels. The first level illustrates the working of the calculation methods used in detail. The second level gives the interconnection between the different parts of the transportation forecasting model. The third level demonstrates the estimation of base year origindestination matrices, estimation of deterrence functions, and the nonlinear weighted Poisson estimation method for multidimensional matrices. The programs are used in lectures, but can also be used as prototypes in feasibility studies of new research developments (Level IV). The programs can be used on microcomputers working under MSDOS.
