The purpose of this study is to investigate the procedure for estimating trip generation for generalized land uses by validating the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) method described in Chapter 6 of the ITE Trip Generation Handbook. The methodology must have a reasonable degree of accuracy and be computationally feasible given available real estate databases such as the CAMA database. The procedure for estimating trip generation for generalized land uses will be validated by comparing the estimated trip generation for generalized land uses to the observed trip generation for the current land uses. The trip generation from the current uses is obtained from collecting field traffic data and also by using the 7th Edition ITE Trip Generation Informational Report. Guidelines for localities to use Chapter 6 in the ITE Trip Generation Handbook to estimate trip ends early in the planning process using generalized land uses, given various types of zoning, are an essential output of this project. The procedure for estimating trip generation for generalized land uses is a simple procedure for planners to follow in the early development stages in order to help them get a general idea of the possible number of trips a development can generate. This procedure will help planners to quickly evaluate the extent of possible needed roadway improvements to account for increased traffic from the development, such as changing a two-lane roadway to a four-lane roadway or implementing a signal. |
