• 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.
