A disaggregate trip generation model for the strategic planning control of private car trips to large foodstores

摘要

This thesis sets out to provide a model for thecalculation of private car trips to large foodstores basedon local area household characteristics. It recognisesthe weakness in predicting private-car trips to largestores using trip-rates obtained from surveys of stores inother areas. The trip generation model that is soughtmust be easily applied and must use readily accessibledata. It is proposed therefore that a relationship besought between private- car trips to the stores and thehousehold characteristics, obtainable from census data, ofthe local catchment area. The model thus obtained wouldbe used for strategic planning control.
