Trip Generation Revisited: Estimation of Trip Generation Rates from Small-Scale Household Travel Surveys
This paper will revisit issues facing transportation planners estimating and validating household trip generation rates from small-scale household travel surveys. Three problems are addressed: (a) unusual observations, (b) small number of observations, and (c) no observations. Unusual observations are identified using traditional methods. Classification and regression tree (CART) analysis is proposed for the second problem. Finally, the third problem is addressed using row-column decomposition analysis. The methods are demonstrated using a small-scale household travel survey and are simple enough to be implemented with the resources available to transportation analysts, especially in smaller Metropolitan Planning Organizations.
