Air Transportation Planning 3
Trip Generation Model is a famous four-step modelling process used by many in transportation forecasting. The steps include trip generation, trip distribution, mode choice and traffic assignment.
Trip Generation
The first of the steps, the common usage of units for it include household, dwelling unit and business establishment. The results, however are aggregated based on larger areas known as traffic zones.
Trip generation is the first stage of the classical first generation aggregate demand models. The trip generation aims at predicting the total number of trips generated and attracted to each zone of the study area. In other words this stage answers the questions to ``how many trips" originate at each zone, from the data on household and socioeconomic attributes. In this section basic definitions, factors affecting trip generation, and the two main modeling approaches; namely growth factor modeling and regression modeling are discussed.
Household generation trips comprises of the majority portion of all trips in an urban area (around 80%). Non residents include public transportation and commercial vehicles. Household trips are further classified into home-based and non home-based. Home-based travelers have one end, that is his home, either origin or destination whereas non home-based are those which the O&D are located in the trip where the traveler does not live.
Household trips can also be classified into into three significant classifications based on the socio-economic characteristics.
1) Household size
2) Auto Ownership
3) Income
A model which include these classifications is a cross classification model and can be used to estimate trip productions by households.
Chatterjee and Kasnabis (1973) provided in detail alternatives for estimation. When the households in a traffic zone are crossclassified by size and auto ownership, total trips made by households in a zone for a specific:
Purpose (P) = Summation of (no. of households of a category) x (Trip rate for households of
that category and for that specific purpose).
Trip Distribution
Under trip distribution there is what we call the Gravity Model.
