Abstract:Public transportation use saves energy and reduces emissions by taking people
out of single passenger automobiles and putting them into high occupancy, energy
efficient transit vehicles. Furthermore, public transit ridership and vehicular
trip estimates are the base information required for estimating energy
consumption and air pollution. Trip generation models as developed and used
within Texas predict the number of trips expected to occur in a typical 24-hour
day. The need to estimate peak=period trips has generated innovative techniques
for estimating peak-period travel from teh 24-hour trip tables. Improved
methods of estimating the number of trips that will be generated during the peak
period will potentially improve the estimation of ridership on public
transportation, as well as related energy and emission forecasts. This project
produced a trip generation model fro predicting peak-period trips based on the
travel surveys conducted in Texas during 1990 and 1991 for Amarillo,
Beaumont-Port Arthur, Brownsville, San Antonio, Sherman-Dension, and Tyler.
