Abstract:
At Present in India, the Transportation Forecasting is carried out by sequential four step procedure, containing Trip Generation, Trip Distribution, Model Split and Route Assignment. Special generators are introduced in the sequential four-step modeling procedure to represent certain types of facilities (Like - Military bases, Universities, Hospitals and Major shopping centers, Large Industry) whose trip generation characteristics are not fully captured by the standard trip generation module which currently used for the transportation forecasting techniques in India. Special Generators are also used in the traffic impact analysis to represent new developments. Special generators have very different trip generation characteristics and cannot be treated as regular employers. These unique characteristics have a major impact on the transportation system, and treating them no different from a state capital or a major downtown employer does not realistically represent the transportation system and how people use the system.
