• Abstract:
  This report develops models that relate the trip-lengths to the land-use characteristics at ; the trip-ends (both production- and attraction-ends). Separate models were developed by trip ; purpose. The results indicate several statistically significant and intuitively reasonable effects of ; land-use patterns. High residential densities and a good mixing of complementary land-uses are ; associated with shorter trips. Larger establishments attract longer trips and the HBO trip lengths ; decrease with increased number of convenient-commercial land-use parcels in the neighborhood. ; The connectivity provided by the roadway network and the urban-form of the area (measured in ; terms of number of intersections and cul-de-sacs) also affect trip lengths. In addition to the local ; land-use characteristics, the trip lengths also vary significantly by the location of the ; neighborhood with the region. All these results hold even after controlling for several trip and ; traveler characteristics. ; Trip length models are applied within a regional, neighborhood and project context to ; estimate trip lengths of a hypothetical development. Two simplified tools are presented that ; utilize the proposed models within an Excel and Geographical Information System environment ; that enable a user to estimate trip length as a metric of demand on the transportation network ; from a proposed project.
