Trip generation model development for Albany

This paper discusses two trip generation models: a trip production model and a trip attraction model. The trip production model estimates the number of home based trips to and from zones where trip makers reside. The trip attraction model estimates the number of home based trips to and from each zone at the non-home end of the trip as well as the number of nonhome based trips. In this study, these two models are based on the trip rates for individual sample households having the particular characteristics. Households and trips information were retrieved from the Australian Bureau of Statistics Census 2006, the Perth Strategic Transport Evaluation Model (presently calibrated to 2001) and the Perth and Regions Travel Surveys 2001 - 2005, since there were no suitable and available model output and survey data source in Albany. Multiple linear regressions are applied in analysing influential variables in these two models.
