Trip Generation Rates, Peaking Characteristics, and Vehicle Mix Characteristicsof Special West Virginia Generators. Volume 1. Technical Report

摘要

For a number of land uses, published trip rates were not appropriate forapplication in West Virginia. There are a number of so-called special genertators, which are either unique to West Virginia (i.e., regional jails) or have assumed increased importance in the state's economy (e.g., poultry-related and timber processing facilities), for which no published rates are available. Due to the long period of time since certain other rates were determined (e.g., residential subdivisions, schools, and shopping centers were examined in 1974) specifically for West Virginia, it was necessary to provide updated rates for these land uses. Overall goals of this project was to determine trip generation rates, peaking characteristics, and vehicle mix characteristics of the following special West Virginia generators: superstores, shopping centers, residential subdivisions, mobile home parks, consolidated schools, light industry/industrial parks, regional jails, poultry-related facilities, and timber processing plants. Trip rates (and appropriate statistics), commercial vehicle information, and peaking characteristrics are presented for each of these land uses. Recommendations are made regarding trip rate selection by land use.
