System navigation

 

TRICS® is more than a database of transport surveys. It is a comprehensive system of trip generation analysis that has been continuously developed over a period of over 20 years.

As the database is large (currently almost 6,000 survey days), it is important that its users are provided with an easy method of system navigation. When using TRICS®, the first thing that users should do is select the main and sub land use category with which they are to work. TRICS® provides user-friendly drop-down menus for this purpose.

When viewing individual site details, a system of icons and tabs allows users to move freely through the comprehensive set of data which provides information on the site, its location, parking facilities and survey count results. This allows users to obtain the data they need without any trouble.

The trip rate calculation process also follows a logical process of filtering, broken down into a number of easy-to-follow stages leading up to the actual calculation once users are satisfied with their selection criteria. It is important for us that movement through the system at all its stages is fluid and user-friendly, and we are constantly developing and refining the system to ensure that this remains the case.
