►Caveats<br />

Will bias the trip distribution due to the uneven<br />

nature of <strong>FSUTMS</strong> and ITE trip generation<br />

methods.<br />

Sites<br />

being studied may produce or attract<br />

significantly more or fewer trips than similar land<br />

uses of similar intensity in the modeled study area.<br />

Larger models take more time to run. This can<br />

make iterating special generator trips more difficult<br />

and time consuming.<br />
