Abstract:Using data from studies conducted in the United States over the last 50-60 years, the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) has published trip generation rates for different land uses. Over time, observations from new studies have been incorporated and general land uses havebeen broken down into more specific categories. However, improved accuracy of estimated trip generation rates has not occurred. This research project addresses an ongoing concern among DOTD officials that the estimation of traffic impact on proposed land use developments is sometimes incorrectly assessed using the ITE trip generation rates. The concern is that overestimation of trip generation rates leads to demands on developers that discourage site development or wasteful spending. The user guide for the ITE trip generation manual suggests adjusting these published “average” rates based on local characteristics of a site. The objective of this study is to develop modification factors to ITE trip generation rates for land uses in Louisiana. With help from the Project Review Committee, one or two land uses will be selected for this study.
