MINOR TRAFFIC ANALYSIS/
TRIP
GENERATION STUDIES |
Trip generation
is the first step in the conventional four-step transportation forecasting
process (followed by trip distribution, mode choice, and route assignment),
widely used for forecasting travel demands. It predicts the number of trips
originating in or destined for a particular traffic analysis zone. The peak hour
trips are distributed to the points of ingress and egress for the site.
The process for a
typical trip generation study includes a selection of several (usually four to
seven)
sites that can be categorized as having the same land use. Next, data regarding
various
characteristics of these sites is collected. Data collection varies according to
the specifics of the
subject land use. The collected data could include several different physical
parameters
attributed to the subject site such as location, lot size, structure size,
number of employees, and
other
units of interest. Individual sites are isolated and traffic counters are placed
at every
entrance and exit point of these sites. The traffic counts are taken for a
period of up to seven
days. The results of these counts are compiled to
determine daily and peak hour trip generation
rates per the
independent variable(s) for the subject use. Depending on the specific land use,
the
independent variable(s) may be square feet, acre, number of employees, dwelling
units, rooms,
etc.
Additional data include the proportion of trips made in the morning and
afternoon peak
periods and the proportion of peak trips that entered and exited the sites.
