  • Abstract:
    This report presents the trip attraction rates of the shopping centers in Northern New ; Castle County in Delaware. The study aims to provide an alternative to ITE Trip ; Generation Manual (1997) for computing the trip attraction of shopping centers in ; Delaware. As part of this study, a total of eighteen shopping centers were surveyed, for ; which the number of vehicles entering and leaving the shopping center in every fifteen ; minutes interval and the number of people visiting each store in the shopping center ; along with their movement patterns were measured. ; Based on the surveyed data and the aerial photographs, two approaches, microscopic and ; macroscopic, are developed to compute the trip attraction rate. The microscopic approach ; deals with the relationship between the trip attraction rates of individual stores and the ; shopping center as a whole. The macroscopic approach relates the trip attraction of the ; shopping center as a function of the physical features of the shopping center, e.g. total ; parking spaces, total floor area, and the number of stores in the shopping center. ; The study shows that microscopic approach gives a better estimate of trip attraction ; compared with the macroscopic approach. The proposed models incorporate the factors ; that have been neglected in ITE Trip Generation Manual. These models should be useful ; for estimating the traffic volume to/from a new shopping center which, is being planned ; and to assess the traffic impact of the shopping center on the geometric design of ; roadways in the surrounding area. ; The report consists of the description of the analytical approach, survey methods, the data ; collected from the survey and the analysis of the data using the models proposed.
