Abstract

Systematic approaches to traffic problems could easily lead to efficient transport systems. In the case of the panchayat of Mulanthuruthy situated in south-eastern suburb of the city of Kochi in Kerala, the demand for travel gradually increases each year. In the coming years, current traffic systems may not be able to fully cover this growing mandate. Trip Generation is the first step in the Sequential Demand Modelling arrangement which is also called as the Four Step Transportation Planning Process (FSTP). The goal of trip generation modelling is to predict the number of trips, by purpose, that are generated in a study area. This paper focuses on factors influencing trip generation and to create a trip generation model for Mulanthuruthy Grama Panchayat. From the questionnaire household survey was conducted, correlation between variables and number of trip generated and cross tabulation of purpose and mode of transport is done
