Manual Trip Calculations
ITE Trip Generation, 7th Edition
Trip rates are provided for daily and various peak hour
conditions
Simple calculations may be done with a calculator or pen
and paper, more complex projects may use a
spreadsheet or Trip Generation software
Internal capture is assessed as the interaction of the
various land uses being considered for a project

Trip Rates
Rates are in vehicle trips
Trip rates are derived from counting vehicles entering
and leaving a particular land use
Numerous land use types are surveyed so that average
trip rates and regression equations can be developed
Rates are dependent on the physical characteristics of
the development
• Dwelling units for residences
• Square footage for employers
• Specialized land uses may use different variables (e.g., acreage)
