Summary/Abstract: The main goal of the article is to present the assumptions and results of six single-purpose models, including six traffic distribution patterns for passenger cars on the national and voivodship roads network in 2010 with the use of VISUM software. The results of the scientific exercise of a hypothetical situation, where all traffic is realized in one of six distinguished purposes. The additional goal is to show spatial implications resulting from the submission of six single-purpose models into one consisting of one multi-purpose model. Generally, the high level of matching in the single-purpose models (except for the tourist traffic) indicates the concentration of different types of traffic on the same sections. The multi-purpose model is the best fitted model (R2 = 0.72). This leads to the conclusion that the combination of six purposes in one model was successful and led to an improvement in its fit.
