ITE announces the release of Trip Generation Handbook, 3rd Edition.
For the first time—the third edition provides guidance on estimating person-trips in addition to vehicle trips. Guidelines are also provided for estimating trips in mixed-use, urban infill, and transit-related settings, in addition to suburban locations.
The principal objectives of Trip Generation Handbook, 3rd Edition are to provide recommendations for:
- Proper techniques for estimating trip generation, both person and vehicle, for potential development sites in urban, suburban, and rural settings;
- Standardization of trip generation data collection efforts; and
- Ethics and objectivity in the use of Trip Generation Manual data.
The recommended practice material from the second edition of Trip Generation Handbook has undergone a comprehensive review, resulting in an update and refinement to each component of the recommended practice.
- Improved guidance is provided for
- evaluation of mixed-use developments;
- establishment of local trip generation rates;
- interpretation of the Trip Generation Manual data plots;
- estimation of truck trips generated by a development site; and
- collection of data to support trip generation analyses.
- New guidance is provided for the estimation of trips generated by sites in urban settings or served by significant levels of transit service.
- Additional data are provided in the pass-by trip data tables.
- Standard deviation values for Trip Generation Manual data plots are updated to represent weighted values.
