Trip Generation Theory

Trip Generation Theory explains how and why people travel to and from specific locations, such as homes, workplaces, or shopping centers. It uses data about land use, population, and socioeconomic factors to estimate the number of trips a site will generate or attract. This helps urban planners design transportation systems, roads, and public transit that effectively serve community needs. Essentially, it predicts travel demand based on the characteristics of a place, providing a foundation for planning efficient and sustainable transportation infrastructure.
