... 80 This report describes the research findings of project NCFRP Project 25, "Freight Trip Generation and Land Use" (Jointly funded as NCHRP Project 08-80)
From page 85...
... 81 revealed that in 51% of industry segments the FTG is constant as it does not depend on business size; in 31% of cases the FTG model is a function of a constant and a rate that multiplies the establishment's employment; and in the remainder 18% of cases the FTG model is proportional to employment and a constant FTG rate. In addition, the case studies suggest that the models estimated at the establishment level are transferable, though more testing is needed to reach solid conclusions, and that the NCFRP Project 25 models outperform both the ITE, and some industry segments of the Quick Freight Response Manual (QFRM)
