What is Traffic Congestion? • A physical phenomenon relating to the manner in which vehicles impede each other’s progression as demand for limited road space approaches full capacity. • A relative phenomenon relating to user expectations vis-à-vis road system performance. […]

Travel demand analysis based on land-use is a process of analyzing how land-use patterns affect travel behavior and demand for transportation services. The analysis involves the collection and analysis of data related to land-use and travel patterns to identify the […]

Trip generation rates can vary widely depending on the type of land use and other factors such as location, density, and access to transportation modes. Here are some common trip generation rates for different land uses: It’s important to note […]

Land use factors can have a significant impact on travel behavior, influencing how and why people choose to travel. Some of the key land use factors that can affect travel behavior include: Trip generation rates of different land uses Land […]

Variables or attributes used to measure the impact of land use on traffic Density •Site intensity •Gross population, •household density •Net household density •Employment density Retail •service employment density Mix of uses •Percent floor space in office, •retail use Ratio […]

Traffic Impact Assessment or Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) is the process of understanding the effect of the proposed project traffic on the existing surrounding and roads. TIA is helpful in suggesting possibilities for linking the proposed project traffic to external […]

The fourth stage of the modelling process is that of traffic assignment, its aim being to stimulate route choice through a defined transport network. It involves assigning the trips generated in the previous steps to specific routes and modes of […]

Modal split is the distribution of travel demand among different transportation modes, such as walking, cycling, public transport, and private vehicles. It is an essential aspect of transportation planning as it helps to understand the use of different transportation modes […]

The Growth Factor Method is a technique used to estimate the trip distribution matrix for a given region or zone. This method assumes that the relationship between the number of trips generated in a zone and the number of trips […]
