Abstract

Trip generation is widely used for forecasting travel demands. It predicts the trips originating in or destined for a particular traffic analysis zone. No doubt, the increase in demand for transport is a direct result of trip generating zones which are majorly households in many urban centers. This study investigates the prevalent socio-economic factors influencing trip generation in Ifo Local Government Area of Ogun state, Nigeria. Data on socio-economic characteristics of 500 residents were collected and analysed using both descriptive analysis and simple Pearson Product Moment Correlation as the inferential statistical technique for testing the stated hypothesis. The correlations co-efficient between trip generation and income of residents with a significant value of 0.000 at p<0.01 reveals that income is the most influential socio-economic factor on trip generation. Hence, the null hypothesis was rejected. This paper therefore proposed possible suggestions that are aimed at improving trips generated in the study area.
