 What
is TRICS?TRICS is the system that challenges and validates assumptions about the transport impacts of new developments. It is the only national ( UK and Ireland) trip generation and analysis database, containing trip generation data and site information for over 2,700 sites. How is it managed? The system is marketed and managed by JMP Consulting on behalf of the TRICS Consortium of 6 County Councils in the south of England:
For many of the sites is is important to gather information on trips undertaken by a variety of different modes of travel. Multi-modal surveys are undertaken at such sites, particularly in urban areas. Of course where travel to a site is car dominated, traffic surveys are undertaken. This ensures that the survey revenue is put to best use. In 2008, 170 multi-modal surveys are being undertaken across the UK and Ireland. TRICS good practice A good practice guide has been produced which should be used for reference by TRICS member and non-member organisations when dealing with TRICS data. You can download it HERE |
