Gravity Model Reilly's Law of Retail Gravitation

Iij=k((Pi*Pj)/Dij^b )
I= Volume of flow between place i and place j City
i= any city Population
j= any other city Distance to City B
Dij= Distance between city i and j
k= constant
b= exponent that tells how important distance is in curtailing movement
Pi= Population of city i
Pj= Population of city j
if b=1 then distance is a strong factor
if b=3 then distance is a weak factor
if b=3 then many short trips involved
i= City
j= City Breakpoint Distance
Pi= 100 Step 1 20000
Pj= 200 Step 2 1
Dij= 1 Step 3 20000
b= 3 Step 4 10000
k= 0.5 Iij= 10000
Reilly's Law of Retail Gravitation Formula:
Ri= retail gravitation for place I (City A or C)
Ri=Pi/Di^2 Pi =population of place I (City A or City C)
Di = distance to place (between City A/C and City B)
A B C
200,000 25000 100000
50 50 50
=Pa/Db^2 80.00 =City A's R (attraction of City A on people living in City B)
=Pc/Db^2 40.00 =City C's R (attraction of City C on people living in City B)
Percent Equation (percent of City B's Trips)
=J12/(J12+J11)*100 66.67 percent of out of town trips from city B go to City A
=J11/(J11+J12)*100 33.33 percent of out of town trips from city B go to City C
Formula:
Ba=Dac/1+(sqrt of Pc/Pa) Ba=Breakpoint Distance for City A
(City A is city a) Dac= distance between cities A and C
Pc = Population of City C
Pa= Population of City A
City A Step 1 -> 0.7071 =Sqrt of Pc/Pa
City A Step 2 -> 58.5786 =Breakpoint distance for City A on a highway
City C Step 1 -> 1.4142 =Sqrt of Pa/Pc
City C Step 2-> 41.4214 =Breakpoint distance for City C on a highway
=City A's R (attraction of City A on people living in City B)
=City C's R (attraction of City C on people living in City B)
percent of out of town trips from city B go to City A
percent of out of town trips from city B go to City C
=Breakpoint distance for City A on a highway
=Breakpoint distance for City C on a highway

Breakpoint Distance Formula:
Ba=Dac/1+(sqrt of Pc/Pa) Ba=Breakpoint Distance for City A
(Shreveport is city a) Dac= distance between cities A and C
Pc = Population of City C
Pa= Population of City A
Shreveport Step 1 -> 1.1178 =Sqrt of Pc/Pa
Shreveport Step 2 -> 33.5249 =Breakpoint distance for Shreveport on I-20
Monroe Step 1 -> 0.8946 =Sqrt of Pa/Pc
Monroe Step 2-> 37.4751 =Breakpoint distance for Monroe on I-20
Example from Louisiana
=Lake Charles' R for city B
