Trip Generation Equation for Primary School

In Malaysia, the car ownership is growing rapidly in recent years. The same situation
even occurs in the school area. This trend seems to be continuing in the future if the
environment also remains growing in trend as before. The main objective of this project
is to produce regression equations for trip generation in primary schools during morning
peak hour and evening peak hour based on selected variables and compare these
equations with the general trip generation equation for primary school produced by
HPU (Highway Planning Unit). Trip generation forecast during planning stage is very
important in order to ensure that the transportation problem in the school area, such as
traffic congestion and parking problems, will not occur in the future. This project also
will determined whether the general trip generation equation for primary school
produced by HPU, which is only based on certain area in Malaysia, can be use to all
primary school or not. For this project, Sekolah Kebangsaan Tronoh, Sekolah
Kebangsaan Pusing and Sekolah Kebangsaan Siputeh have been chosen as the study
areas. The scope of study for the project include literature review, trip generation survey
and data analysis. In this project, the methodology has been divided into several stages
which are selection of study area, data collection for trip generation survey, data
collection for independent variables, data analysis and finally the comparison of results
with the HPU. Hopefully, this project will improve the Malaysian Trip Generation
Manual.
