Title: USE OF SOCIOECONOMIC INDICATORS IN TRIP ATTRACTION OF LARGE WORK CENTERS
Accession Number: 00241796
Record Type: Component
Abstract: DURING THE WINTER OF 1970 A MAIL SURVEY OF 25,000 EMPLOYEES IN 25 ATLANTA WORK CENTERS WAS CONDUCTED TO PRODUCE DATA TO ANALYZE QUANTITATIVELY THE INTERRELATIONS AMONG DIFFERENT LAND-USE, TRAVEL, AND SOCIOECONOMIC INDICATORS AND TO DESIGN A TRIP-ATTRACTION MODEL FOR LARGE WORK CENTERS INSTEAD OF TRAFFIC ZONES. TWO TYES OF INDICATORS WERE USED: EMPLOYEE AND EMPLOYER. WITH RESPECT TO THE FIRST, 13 VARIABLES WERE IDENTIFIED THAT COLLAPSED INTO SIX: TWO CONTAINING THE VARIABLES OCCUPATION, EDUCATION, PERSONAL AND FAMILY INCOMES, AGE, AND YEARS AT WORK; ONE CONTAINING TRAVEL TIME AND DISTANCE; ONE CONTAINING HOME VALUE, RENT, AND LOT SIZE; ONE CONTAINING THE NUMBER OF CARS IN A FAMILY; AND ONE CONTAINING THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN IN A FAMILY. THE EMPLOYER INDICATOR CONSISTED OF FOUR VARIABLES: FLOOR SPACE, DISTANCE FROM THE ATLANTA CBD, ASSESSED VALUE OF WORK CENTER, AND NUMBER OF WORK TRIPS ATTRACTED; THE FIRST AND FOURTH OF THESE WERE FOUND TO BE CLOSELY RELATED. COMPONENT REGRESSION ANALYSIS WAS EMPLOYED TO GENERATE A MULTIVARIATE STATISTICAL MODEL. IT WAS FOUND THAT FLOOR SPACE CONTRIBUTES MOST TO THE MODEL AND OCCUPATIONAL LEVEL LEAST.
