Trip Generation
 Mathematical Models for Trip
Generation
◦ Regression Models
◦ Trip-Rate Analysis
◦ Cross-Classification
Trip Generation
 Trip-Rate Analysis
◦ Average trip-production or trip-attraction rates for
specific types of producers and attractors
◦ More suited to trip attractions
Trip-Rate Analysis
 Example
Trip-Rate Analysis
For 100 employees in a retail shopping center, calculate the total
number of trips
Home-based work (HBW) =
100 employees x 1.7 trips/employee = 170
Home-based Other (HBO) =
100 employees x 10 trips/employee = 1,000
Non-home-based (NHB) =
100 employees x 5 trips/employee = 500
Total = 170 + 1000 + 500 = 1,670 daily trips

Trip Generation
 Cross Classification Models
◦ Uses trip rates based on one or more explanatory
or "independent" variables
◦ Trip rates are determined by aggregating data
from surveys such as household travel surveys
Cross Classification Models
 House hold characteristics used in
Cross Classification Models
◦ House hold Size
◦ Car ownership
◦ Income
Cross-classification (category analysis)
Situation: Zone 1 characteristics are
Home based work (HBW) trip production data
Households Income level
Household size <10,000 10,000 to 30,000 >30,000
1 10 100 50

 Advantages of cross-classification
 Independent of zone system
 No regression related assumptions necessary
 Disadvantages
 No extrapolation
 No trip rate for cells with no observations
 Difficult to add additional stratifying variables
 Difficult to choose household groups
