A Technical Review of Urban Land Use-Transportation Models as Tools for Evaluating Vehicle Travel Reduction strategies

Author: Frank Southworth
Abstract:

The method of assessment is as follows: analyze the generation of truck traffic, where different number of trucks are generated by the type of facility located within a freight village. A typical freight village model was created and was applied to six sites. The number of trucks generated by facilities is estimated using the truck trip rates from the ITE Trip Generation manual and relevant figures. To assess the impact of alternative land uses compared to freight village development, various scenarios were used for comparisons which include development of a business park, an amusement park and a regional park. The traffic impact of a freight village will then be compared to that of alternative developments.
