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.

What we have learnt
- Trip generation predicts the total number of trips for each zone based on household and socio-economic data.
- Trips are classified into home-based and non home-based as well as mandatory and discretionary categories.
- Factors such as income, household structure, and land value significantly influence trip generation.
Key Concepts
- -- Trip Generation
- The process of predicting total trips generated by and attracted to zones in a study area.
- -- Growth Factor Modeling
- A method that predicts future trips based on current trips and various explanatory variables.
- -- Regression Methods
- Analyzing the relationship between trip rates and factors like household size to predict future trips.
