Trip Generation for Various Sites

The 11th edition of the ITE Trip Generation Manual is missing several land uses and may have incorrect data for Louisiana's less-urban areas that lack public transportation for other land uses. The objective of this research is to conduct a pilot study in Louisiana that will achieve the following objectives: (1) How much variability is there in the trip rates among sites and through the week? (2) Are the trip rates really significantly different from ITE, so as to warrant further determination of rates? (3) Is there apparent variability with contextual factors (assuming that sites are chosen that cover some variability in contextual factors, which should be a requirement of the design)? (4) What should be the priority for determining new trip generation rates for use in Louisiana (as evidenced by deviation from ITE and potential impact on traffic planning)? (5) Can the new smart micro radars provide more accurate counts? (6) Can third party mobility datasets provide accurate count data for computing trip rates?
