Transportation forecasting uses a four step model to estimate future travel demand:
1) Trip generation estimates the number of trips originating and ending in each traffic analysis zone based on socioeconomic and land use data.
2) Trip distribution determines trip destinations from origins.
3) Mode choice identifies the transportation mode for each trip.
4) Route assignment specifies the routes for each trip.
Trip generation models predict trip "ends" as either origins and destinations, with origins at residential zones and destinations at non-residential zones, or as productions at residential zones and attractions at non-residential zones.

Monitor indicators of genetic diversity from space using Earth Observation dataSpatial Genetics
Genetic diversity within and among populations is essential for species persistence. While targets and indicators for genetic diversity are captured in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, assessing genetic diversity across many species at national and regional scales remains challenging. Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) need accessible tools for reliable and efficient monitoring at relevant scales. Here, we describe how Earth Observation satellites (EO) make essential contributions to enable, accelerate, and improve genetic diversity monitoring and preservation. Specifically, we introduce a workflow integrating EO into existing genetic diversity monitoring strategies and present a set of examples where EO data is or can be integrated to improve assessment, monitoring, and conservation. We describe how available EO data can be integrated in innovative ways to support calculation of the genetic diversity indicators of the GBF monitoring framework and to inform management and monitoring decisions, especially in areas with limited research infrastructure or access. We also describe novel, integrative approaches to improve the indicators that can be implemented with the coming generation of EO data, and new capabilities that will provide unprecedented detail to characterize the changes to Earth’s surface and their implications for biodiversity, on a global scale.
Trichogramma spp. is an efficient egg parasitoids that potentially assist to manage the insect-pests from the field condition by parasiting the host eggs. To mass culture this egg parasitoids effectively, we need to culture another stored grain pest- Rice Meal Moth (Corcyra Cephalonica). After rearing this pest, the eggs of Corcyra will carry the potential Trichogramma spp., which is an Hymenopteran Wasp. The detailed Methodologies of rearing both Corcyra Cephalonica and Trichogramma spp. have described on this ppt.

2. QUESTIONS
• Have you ever been frustrated because you can’t walk to a convenience
store that is only a few hundred feet away because there are no
sidewalks?
• Or because your children can’t safely ride their bikes to a school located
only a mile away?
CORRIDOR PLANNING
• An approach that considers multiple forms of
transportation, adjacent land uses and the
connecting street network can transform the
transportation planning process into one that
respects and enhances our natural and human
environments.
3. CORRIDOR(GOOGLE)
• a hall or way through a building, passageway:
pasilyo, daan, daanan. 2. passing: paglipas. 3. a
means of passing, a way through: pagdaan,
pagdaraan.
Corridor(Transportation Planning)
• A broad geographic band connecting population and
employment centers served by various transportation
modes within which person and freight, travel, land
use, topography, environment and other characteristics
are evaluated- Vermont Agency of transportation.
• Defined in the Urban Hamilton Official Plan (2011) as
areas of street oriented uses which incorporate a mix
of retail, employment and residential uses, developed
at overall greater densities, located along arterial roads
serving as major transit routes .
4. CORRIDOR PLANNING
• It is a multimodal transportation planning approach
that recognizes that transportation needs are based on
the complex geographic, demographic, economic, and
social characteristics of communities
• provide the state departments of transportation, local
governments (including municipal and county),
landowners, developers, and residents along the
corridor with an overall vision, as well as guidance and
coordination on what future infrastructure
improvements are needed
WHY DO A CORRIDOR PLAN/STUDY?
• Developing a strategy to address current or future
transportation problems.
• Relating a corridor strategy to a larger system plan.
• Identifying land use strategies that complement
transportation investments.
• Identifying improvements to include within a local or
regional plan.
• Setting the conditions for setting aside right-of-way within
the corridor.
• Allowing more detailed cost estimates to be prepared
5. PURPOSE OF A CORRIDOR PLAN
• Establish a vision for transportation and land
use
• Long Term
• Short Term
• Evaluate the full range of strategies
• Identify specific projects, strategies and
actions for more detailed analysis and
implementation
COMPONENTS OF A CORRIDOR PLAN

12. BENEFITS OF A CORRIDOR STUDY?
• Improved access along a corridor when land use and
transportation planning is coordinated
• Connecting infrastructure to development decisions,
reducing infrastructure costs
• Coordinated redevelopment and economic
development along a corridor
• Resolution of major planning issues prior to the
initiation of project development
• Identification and possibly preservation of
transportation right-of-way
• Protection of transportation investments
• Intergovernmental cooperation, partnerships with
diverse public and private agencies and
organizations
• Asset management
14. KEY POINTS ABOUT CORRIDOR
PLANS
• One size does not fit all—tailor the corridor plan to the
problems being addressed.
• Clearly articulate why the corridor study should be
conducted, when it should be initiated, and how the issues
will be considered.
• Relate the corridor plan to regional decisions that set the
context for the issues being examined.
• Identify logical termini for the study.
• Identify key stakeholders and a public involvement
process for informing these stakeholders.
• Identify a timeline for the completion of the study.
• Focus on developing and documenting relevant and
accurate information that leads to decisions being made
within the corridor
These problems are the inevitable result of approaching transportation planning and community planning as two separate processes
As Planners strive to enhance the country’s economic vitality, our quality of life and the environment, theres a need for new approaches to transportation projects that will meet the needs of the public in this century. Fortunately, new ways of transportation planning are becoming increasingly prevalent
Corridor simply refers to a relatively well-defined geographic area that handles travel flow.
In other words these corridors will provide a significant opportunity for creating vibrant pedestrian and transit oriented places through investment in hard and soft infrastructure, residential intensification, infill and redevelopment.
1. Geographic-physical features such as landforms waterforms climate
Demographic- population, age, ethnicity gender etc
Economic-production distribution consumption
Social- development and welfare activities
2. Corridor plans often include descriptions of capital improvements, implementation phasing, access and circulation issues, and protected lands.
3. corridors were oriented radially from the suburbs to the center city. With the rapid growth in population and employment in the suburbs during the past 40 years, many corridor studies now focus on suburb-to-suburb trip patterns
Visioning and Consensus – Establishing a shared vision and consensus allows the community to set project goals and objectives. Understanding needs and developing support from the community is vital to start the planning, design and implementation processes.
Planning and Conceptual Design – Communities should leverage local resources and knowledge to assist in guiding project activities to best meet the needs of their community. Tailoring best practices to match up with local conditions and desires will assist in developing an implementable, successful planning study.
A vision provides a direction for your goals while objectives define your goals
Goals are the outcomes you intend to achieve, whereas objectives are the specific actions and measurable steps that you need to take to achieve a goal
