Trip Generation Models
Trip Rates
Growth factor models
Based on extrapolation from existing condition
Regression Models
Explanatory Variables are used to predict trip generation
rates, usually by Multiple Regression
Cross - Classification / Category Analysis
Average trip generation rates are associated with different
trip generators or land uses as a function of generator or
land use attributes
Models may be TAZ, Household, or Person - Based
Trips
Number of Persons Number of Vehicles
In a simple form
= .
: population
: Income
Easy method but very simplistic
Usually used to estimate trips in external zones

Non-linear Relationship
= 0 + 1 1 + 2 2
1 = number of workers in the HH
2 = number or cars
The variable 2 can be divided into car ownership of
0, 1, and 2 or more (needs two dummy variables)
The resulting model with two dummy variables
= 0 + 1 1 + 2 1 + b
2 z2
1 = 1 if HH with one car; 0 otherwise
2 = 1 if HH with two or more car; 0 otherwise

Pros
Grouping is independent of the zoning
No prior assumption about the relationship between
response and predictor variable (Linear, monotonic,
etc)
Cons
Extrapolation not possible
Large sample size required
Grouping of variables is arbitrary
