摘要：AbstractIn many studies of transportation is required to estimate trips intensity that generates certain land use, in order to measure their impact on adjacent streets. Typically, when the data cannot be obtained directly, or by planning approach, parameters suggested by the Trip Generation Handbook (TGH) of the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) are used. However, the use of these parameters in places outside its application scope might not be appropriate. Therefore, this work proposes a research aimed to obtain trip generator models for different land uses, through random sampling, in schools of the Libertador municipality, in Mérida-Venezuela. Evaluated transportation modes are: private car, school transport, public transport, motorcycle and travel on foot. Data collection methodology presented a redundancy problem, due to quantify trips made by different people in the same vehicle; this requires a change in future surveys. However, the incorporation of occupation indices and statistical analysis help to quantify trips by mode making inference to the population. The influence of the socio-economic level in mode choice is evidenced, resulting useful trip generation rates that can be compared and incorporated into the Red Iberoamericana data base as a contribution.
