Improved Estimation Of Internal Trip Capture For Mixed-Use Developments

摘要

One of the key components of traffic impact analyses (TIA) for proposed land developments is the estimation of the number of trips that are expected to be generated by the site. For developments composed of a single land use, trip generation can be estimated using the Institute of Transportation Engineers' (ITE's) Trip Generation, 8th Edition or similar reference, based on certain characteristics of the proposed site. For multi-use land developments, the process of estimating trip generation is slightly more complex due to the internalization of some trips between on-site land uses. ITE defines a "multi-use development" as a single real-estate project that consists of two or more ITE land-use classifications between which trips can be made without using the off-site road system.
