Trip rates of different types of obects in the urban environment

Abstract

The paper presents the methodology and results of research on the basic characteristics of movement and generated traffic of different land purposes in the city of Loznica. By determining the basic travel characteristics for each selected zone and forming an adequate set of independent parameters for the calculation of rates. The goal is to establish links between land use and generated traffic. Based on foreign literature, scientific papers, manuals and models, a methodology was created that is adapted to local conditions for each research zone. Data on each zone were processed and analyzed in order to determine the basic travel characteristics. The basic travel characteristics for related zones are presented in groups in order to better compare similarities and differences. Based on the obtained results on generated traffic and the selected set of independent variables for each zone, the trip rates of generated traffic were calculated and compared with the results of the American manual of generated traffic. Also, conclusions were drawn on the usability of the generated traffic rates from the American manual and the relationship between the basic travel characteristics and their impact on the calculated generated trip rates.
