TRIP GENERATION RATES FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF GROCERY STORES

Ronald D Hensen

Open publisher page 4 citations

Abstract

A study is reported that appears to suggest that trip generation rates for superstore and warehouse grocery stores may differ significantly from those reported for the supermarket land use in the ITE (Institute of Transportation Engineers) publication, Generation. However, local studies of a supermarket may also find rates significantly different from the rate reported in Generation. This is to be expected as the rate reported in Trip Generation is an average rate, based on a wide range of values. The terms, 'Superstore and 'warehouse' are defined. Traffic counts were performed at a recently opened warehouse store and a successful superstore. Details of the study are summarized. Weekly sales transactions for both stores are tabulated. The ITE trip rate for supermarkets and the approximate trip rate for each study site are summarized in a table.
