Abstract
The analysis of trip generation and attraction is the first stage in the sequential approach to travel demand forecasting. The inclusion of the term ‘attraction’ requires some explanation since the outline discussion in Chapter 3 only introduced the concept of ‘trip generation’. In fact, the analysis of trip attractions is entirely equivalent to the analysis of trip generation. That is to say, it examines the number of trips attracted to a zone (for some specified journey purpose) as a function of zonal land-use characteristics. It is required as an input to the process of forecasting future trip-making by means of the so-called ‘doubly constrained trip distribution model’, whose characteristics are discussed in more detail in Chapter 6.
