... 5 This technical report supplements NCHRP Report 758: Trip Generation Rates for Transportation Impact Analyses of Infill Developments. It is a consolidation of interim reports prepared during the development of the recommended methodology for estimating vehicular trip generation of infill development.
From page 51...
... 6The following overview of the methodology is paraphrased from Chapter 3 of the report. The research team selected an approach for estimating the trip generation of infill development categorized as "ITE rate adjustment based on empirical data," as described in the main body of the report.

... 8The following description of the use of the household travel survey method is paraphrased from Chapter 3 and 4 of the report. Infill adjustment factors may be derived for sites proposed within metropolitan areas that have current HTS data.
From page 54...
... 9 surveys provide some useful information, they are not representative at the scale of the region, city, or urbanized area. In fact, according to the Travel Survey Manual:2 "It has long been determined by most metropolitan regions that data collected in one region has little relevance to another region.

... 10 multiple variables from the four categories of data: household, person, vehicle, and travel/activity. Linked-trip data are made up of individual trip records, each of which represents one person's travel for an activity by the primary mode of travel.

From page 57...
... 12 This chapter provides a detailed example of how mode split and vehicle occupancy adjustment factors are derived from household travel survey data. As described in the previous chapter, the investigators selected the household travel survey data from the 2000 BATS.

... 14 edge of the buffer ring covered more the 1⁄3 of the TAZs area. In metropolitan areas where GIS layers of transit routes and stops are not available, the exercise of selecting transit proximate TAZs is performed manually.

The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority operates and maintains Metrorail and Metrobus, the major rail and bus transit systems in the area.

... 19 This chapter describes how the research team distilled household travel survey data for the Washington, D.C., case study selected in Chapter 5 to segregate trips and mode share to and from TAZs that met the criteria for the four primary land use categories being studied (residential, restaurant, retail, and office)
From page 65...
... 20 The Washington, D.C., HTS is activity-based and not placebased, so the type of land use at the origin or destination of the trip needs to be inferred from the trip purpose description provided in the trip records. Survey participants selected from 13 different predetermined trip purposes (or activities)

... 21 and vehicle occupancy. Employee-related trips are captured in the "work" trip purpose.
