TRICS® Report 09/1

An econometric study of the relationship between land use and vehicle trip generations

This report has emerged from the sponsorship of a PhD course of study by the TRICS® Consortium in collaboration with the Economic and Social Research Council. The work sought to answer a number of questions and particularly, establish a scientifically grounded response to two key issues (i) can the data held in TRICS® be used for ‘sound’ econometric modeling and (ii) using appropriate econometric methods, is land zone placement (as defined in accordance with Planning Policy Guidance definitions) a genuinely important determinant of trip generation behaviour. The three land use categories studied in this project were office developments, food superstores and residential developments.
