7. Trip Generation

Trip generation is the initial stage in classical demand models aimed at predicting total trip numbers generated and attracted to different zones. It involves understanding the definitions of key terms and the factors influencing trip generation, which can be modeled through growth factor or regression approaches. Various trip classifications based on purpose and time, as well as the socio-economic characteristics affecting trips, are also crucial for accurate modeling.
