Abstract: This study aimed to create models for the first of the four-step model of travel demand forecasting – that is, trip
generation. Lipa City, which is a first class component city in the province of Batangas and is composed of 72 barangays
or zones, is the study area considered. Household Interview Surveys is conducted by the Office of Transportation
Cooperatives and the results are encoded in a database. Two modelling techniques are used, namely: (1) regression
analysis; and (2) trip rate method. For the regression analysis, fifteen (15) independent variables and two (2) dependent
variables (i.e., trips produced and trips attracted) are considered by trip purpose. Eight (8) trip purposes were identified: To
Home; To Work; To School; To Private Business; To Employer’s Business; To Medical; To Shopping; and To Church.
Results of regression analysis showed that the population per zone, number of households per zone, workers per zone,
students per zone and household head monthly income per zone are significant parameters for a particular zone to produce
and attract trips. For the trip rate method, cross-classification tables are made for each purpose. Different household
characteristics are cross-classified for each purpose (i.e., household size and household income for purpose ‘To Home’, or
household income and occupation for purpose ‘To Work’.) Results of the trip rate method illustrated the trip generation
rates from different trip purposes.

This study would be using the data from the 2.1 Data Collection
Household Interview Survey (HIS) of 1,252
households in Lipa City to be provided by the Office The study would be using the Household Interview

The general equation of this modeling technique is of
the form: Assumptions must be first known before finding the
independent variables. The assumptions include: (1)
(1) all the independent variables must be independent
from one another; (2) all the independent variables
where Y: dependent variable which are the trips must follow a normal distribution; and (3) all the
produced or trips attracted by a zone or independent variables must be continuous.

3.1 Regression Analysis
A trip generation model expresses the relationship
between the socio-economic factors of the population Table 1. Correlation Matrix Between the

form of trip generation model that represents this
relationship is the cross-classification table.

For the “To Home” trips – for the trip attraction, only
the variables, workers per zone and students per zone
qualified for having the high correlation with the
dependent variable, trips attracted. Also, through the
second guideline, it can be said that the two
independent variables were not highly correlated so
both variables could be in the same equation. With
these two variables to be related to the dependent
variable, regression function of MS Excel is used.
After getting the multiple linear regression equation,
the coefficient of determination should be examined
if it resulted to a high correlation – that is, having a
value within the range of 0.7 to 1.
