Module 2.3
Calculating Trip Generation
: CO 2. Apply travel demand forecasting computation and
: LO 2.1 Calculate the trip generation forecasts.
: 7.0 hours
: In this session, you will solve problems in trip generation.

Key Concepts:

Trip generation is the process of determining the number of trips that will begin or end in each
traffic analysis zone within a study area. Since the trips are determined without regard to
destination, they are referred to as trip ends. Each trip has two ends, and these are described in
terms of trip purpose, or whether the trips are either produced by traffic zone or attracted to a
traffic zone.
For example, a home – to- work trip would be considered to have a trip end produced in the
home zone and attracted to the work zone. Trip generation analysis has two functions: 1. To
develop a relationship between trip end production or attraction and land use, and 2. To use the
relationship to estimate the number of trips generated at some future date under a new set of
land-use conditions. Two methods are considered: cross classification and rates based on
activity units.
Cross-classification is a technique to determine the number of trips that begin or end at the home.
Home-based trip generation is useful because it can represent a proportions of all trips. A
relationship between socioeconomic measures and trip production is developed. The variables
commonly used are average income and auto ownership, household size.
