Journal Title: Invention Journal of Research Technology in Engineering & Management - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 10
Abstract
Freetown, as the capital city of Sierra Leone has important roles in various sectors that require good provision of public transportation system. This research attempts to develop household trip generation models using Freetown Centre I district as our case study. The models are built by using multiple linear regression analysis, which establishes relationship between trip number and household socioeconomic attributes. Household interviews were used through the administration of questionnaires for data collection on household socioeconomic and trip characteristics of the study area. The results were then analyzed quantitatively using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS 16.0 version). Mathematical models were developed and the results show that trip generation rate is highly dependent on the income status of the people in Freetown Centre I district. Model validation and optimization were done to test the usefulness of the proposed models. These results confirm that the proposed models can be used to forecast future trip number for the study area and areas with similar household socioeconomic attributes. It is recommended that due to the rapid growth of automobile ownership, especially motorcycle, new transportation planning should be done in order to create reliable and sustainable public transport system
