Development of Trip Attraction Models for the Core Area of Thiruvananthapuram City
Infrastructure developments and increased employment opportunities in an area lead to increase in travel demand consequently causing traffic and transportation problems. This can be overcome by proper transportation planning, which includes identifying the travel demand and implementing plans accordingly, thereby maintaining a balanced urban transportation system. Therefore, it is highly warranted to study the trip generation pattern of an area. The present paper attempts to identify the factors that influence the trip attraction potential of the core area of Thiruvananthapuram, the capital of Kerala, India. The attraction characteristics of various establishment types, purposes, and zones are determined followed by the development of trip attraction models. The significant variables identified for the trip attraction were the number of employees, floor area, seating capacity, and available parking space.
