Trip
production and attraction of trips by origins and destinations, respectively
Trip generation
total number of trips originating from or destined for a zone. Each trip has two, and these are described in terms of purpose.
Trip ends
Functions of trip generation analysis
- To develop a relationship between trip end production/attraction and land use
- To use the relationship to estimate the number of trips generated at some future time under a new set of land use conditions
method created by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) used to estimate the number of trips originating or ending at home. The process begins by establishing a connection between socioeconomic factors and trip generation.
Cross classification
involves estimating the number of trips produced or attracted by different land uses (like residential or commercial areas).
Trip generation
such as square feet of floor space or the number of employees, are used to calculate trip attractions in non-residential zones
Activity units
