DEVELOPING TRICS IN 2010

1. DEVELOPING TRICS�IN 2010/11 Nick Rabbets, Dorset County Council This presentation takes a look at potential TRICS developments in the current TRICS year, which runs from April to April. In recent weeks we have been receiving responses to our annual User Survey, which asks users what they want to see both in terms of TRICS system development and our research and data collection programmes.This presentation takes a look at potential TRICS developments in the current TRICS year, which runs from April to April.

2. Developing TRICS� in 2010/11 System developments suggested by users as part of TRICS User Survey Ideas for TRICS� research projects Land use categories where users say more data is needed (2011 survey programme) The presentation is split into 3 parts which should just merge together. Firstly I�ll take you through some of the more interesting suggestions that users have given us for future system development, these being actual ideas for changes to the way the program works. Then I will run through a few of the research ideas that you have come up with. Finally I will go through the land use categories in TRICS where users have said they would like to see more data.The presentation is split into 3 parts which should just merge together.

3. Weather Conditions in Trip Rate Selection Process Users could select both AM and PM weather conditions in filtering process Handy for land uses where weather is a significant factor (e.g. golf courses) Could include a display of weather icons So on to the suggested system developments. The first is a development which seeks to make more of the data we collect at sites on weather conditions, both AM and PM. It has been suggested that weather could be introduced as a filtering option within the trip rate calculation selection process, alongside other factors such as location type, population levels, etc. This would be a handy addition to the options we have already, and would of course be significant for certain types of land use category more than others. It would also be good if we could include weather icons on the survey days screen so people could get a quick glance at what conditions were like on the day of the survey (we think that would be a good touch).So on to the suggested system developments.

4. Review Efficiency of System Processes Responses to User Survey mention slow speed of TRICS� Response time has improved since web version first released Most up-to-date web techniques and software used Could review the efficiency of individual processes to reduce waiting times for users We often receive responses in our User Survey which state that TRICS runs at a slow speed compared to its old Windows days when its response times were pretty much instantaneous. It has to be said that response times have improved in the last couple of years, as we have been using the most up to date technologies available. But it should be remembered that TRICS is a large database, and anything of this size on the internet does require a timely user interface. We feel that instead of attempting to make the system run faster in its current form, which it cannot, we hold a review of the efficiency of individual processes within the system. With a few tweaks here and there to make processes more efficient, we could be able to provide a faster system in real terms. We shall certainly be looking into this.We often receive responses in our User Survey which state that TRICS runs at a slow speed compared to its old Windows days when its response times were pretty much instantaneous.

5. Split 06/A Hotels Category A good suggestion we have received is to split the existing 06/A Hotel land use category into 4 separate new categories. The four categories, as you can see here, are budget hotels (top), guest houses, standard hotels, and serviced apartments. We currently have a good amount of data in the budget and standard hotel categories, so if we were to introduce this split we would be looking at undertaking more surveys at guest house and serviced apartment sites.A good suggestion we have received is to split the existing 06/A Hotel land use category into 4 separate new categories.

6. Colour-Coded Scatterplots User-defined trip rate selections colour-coded Location type, population range, weather, etc This was a really interesting idea which could provide users with an excellent analytical tool within the system. What we see here is a TRICS rank order scatterplot, but note the different colours of the plots. We could introduce an option whereby users could highlight the plots by a number of different criteria, such as location type, local population range, weather conditions, etc. We have the data in the system already, it would just be a case of deciding which criteria to use. This is potentially an excellent tool for analysing trip generation trends across a wide range of criteria, making the much-used scatterplot that much more flexible and interesting.This was a really interesting idea which could provide users with an excellent analytical tool within the system.

7. Enhance Modal Split Pie Charts to Show SOV�s and MOV�s Current pie chart shows all vehicle occupants grouped together Recent count data splits vehicles by 1 occupant, 2 occupants, etc. Updated pie chart could split SOV�s and MOV�s Modal split pie charts at the moment show vehicle occupants, cyclists, pedestrians and public transport user percentages. But recently we have been collecting our vehicle occupancy data in a more detailed way, recoding vehicles with 1 occupant, 2 occupants, 3 occupants, etc. It has been suggested that we could use this to update our modal split pie charts so that the vehicle occupants slice is split between vehicles with single occupancy and vehicles with multiple occupancy. As car sharing is one of the big travel plan topics these days, this would fit in nicely.Modal split pie charts at the moment show vehicle occupants, cyclists, pedestrians and public transport user percentages.

8. Suggested New Land Use Categories Mini-Superstore (e.g. Tesco Express) Stadia Town Centre Car Park Coffee Shop (e.g. Costa, Starbucks) Financial Services (e.g. high street bank branch) Banqueting Suites As is usually the case with our annual User Surveys, there are a number of new land use categories suggested by users. We have quite a mixed bag here. Mini-Superstores represent the �Tesco Express� type of development, which is somewhere between a food superstore and a corner shop. Then we have Stadia, which could provide us with survey challenges but are nevertheless worth considering as this seems to be a popular choice amongst users. Town Centre car parks are numerous, both surface and multi-storey, so it would be asy to obtain data for this type of land use, as are coffee shops since so many Costa and Starbucks branches have opened up. There is also the possibility of a new Financial Services category, which means high street banks (rather than administrative centres which already fall under the 02/A Office category). And then we have a suggestion of Banqueting Suites, places which can be hired out for weddings etc.As is usually the case with our annual User Surveys, there are a number of new land use categories suggested by users.

9. Suggested New Land Use Categories Boarding Kennels Internet Shopping Distribution Centres Religious Schools Primary Care Centre Further potential additions include Boarding Kennels, Internet Shopping Distribution Centres (such as the huge Amazon warehouse which you may have seen on your travels), Religious Schools, and a new Health category of Primary Care Centre. We shall of course consider each of these potential additions when we decide on our system development programme for the year. It is good to keep the system up to date in terms of the types of land use being required by users, but at the same time we don�t want to spread our data collection programme too thinly across such a wide range of categories. Perhaps it�s worth us reviewing some of the categories which are not used that often.Further potential additions include Boarding Kennels, Internet Shopping Distribution Centres (such as the huge Amazon warehouse which you may have seen on your travels), Religious Schools, and a new Health category of Primary Care Centre.

10. Transfer of Saved Work Files Current saved work kept within TRICS� system Could investigate ways in which saved work files could be transferred between users Recently we introduced a new facility to allow users to save work in progress. There was a lot of work involved in this, with quite a number of complicated coding required in the system. The result is a system that will allow you to save work in progress on the TRICS server using your log-in. However, some users have suggested that we should take this a step further and produce a transferable file that can be forwarded to another TRICS user. As we are always looking to improve facilities such as this within TRICS we shall see what work would be involved in making this happen.Recently we introduced a new facility to allow users to save work in progress.

11. Update Site List Sorting Options by Selecting Headers Sorting of site lists currently done from a menu Could change this so that users can click on a column header to sort a list A-Z and Z-A choices would speed up user interface Here is one potential development that might speed up the user interface. At the moment, if you want to sort records in a list of sites in TRICS, you need to select from a menu and decide in which order your sort will take place. We could speed this up by introducing a �one-click� approach to this process, so a user only has to click at the top of a column header for an instant sort by that column. Perhaps we could also add A-Z and Z-A icons here so that you can instantly decide in which order you want the sort to be undertaken, again with just the one click.Here is one potential development that might speed up the user interface.

12. Descriptive Document on TRICS� for Those Unfamiliar With System Some recipients of data unsure what TRICS� is Single page descriptive note could be written to provide initial guidance Note would be freely available within Library module Many organisations are presented with TRICS data but are unaware what TRICS actually is. A good suggestion we have received is for a straightforward, single page description of TRICS to be held in the Library module, so that when data is forwarded the recipient can understand the basics of the system. We could also include this as an option when printing out TRICS reports, so that the document is automatically generated as part of a report.Many organisations are presented with TRICS data but are unaware what TRICS actually is.

13. Outputting Arrivals, Departures and Totals Rank Order Lists at Once All 3 directional rank order lists could be printed at once to save users time When outputting a rank order list, as in the example shown here, users currently have to select a rank order sorted by arrivals, departures, or totals. Then, they have to go back and change their selection if they require an output by a different direction. We could speed up this process by allowing users to print out all 3 directions together in the same output. All users would need to do is select the time range etc. as normal, and then click on an option which toggles between the selected direction and all 3 directions.When outputting a rank order list, as in the example shown here, users currently have to select a rank order sorted by arrivals, departures, or totals.

14. Some Other Suggested System Developments Include travel plan targets for all sites with TP�s More descriptive information for Nursing and Care Homes Add user comment field to PDF outputs Pop-up note explaining method for school surveys Copy all trip rate tables (by mode) into Excel in one go Vehicle type percentage splits by time period There have been numerous other suggestions for system developments, and I�m not going to go through them all as we would need considerably more time than the slot for this presentation allows. Here are a few of the more interesting suggestions we have received. Travel plan targets to be included for all sites that have a travel plan (currently this information is just collected for our SAM sites). More descriptive information for Nursing and Care Homes seems to be quite important, as the activities undertaken at each can vary, as can the proportion of day patients and residents etc. I think we should look at providing some further clarity here. Another good suggestion is to add a comment field to PDF outputs in TRICS, so that the data supplier can leave a message for the recipient, perhaps explaining some particular selections or providing some text explaining the background to the work taking place. This would very much aid the understanding of TRICS data by its recipients. A pop-up note explaining the survey method for school sites is also a good one. There can be some confusion with regards to our methods for surveying school sites, particularly primary schools. Without going into great detail about it right now, we feel that it might be a good idea to provide a pop-up note which explains just who and who isn�t included in multi-modal counts at such sites. Then we have an idea to copy all trip rate calculation results tables (by each mode) into Excel in one go, although we would need to have a look and see if this was feasible. It is however another time-saving idea that coiuld make a difference to users, so it�s worth investigating. And another idea is for our vehicle type percentages, which are currently shown for the whole survey, to be split into user-defined time periods. This is something that could be done for new sites entering the database, and would require some major changes to the code, but again, we shall investigate.There have been numerous other suggestions for system developments, and I�m not going to go through them all as we would need considerably more time than the slot for this presentation allows.

15. Some Other Suggested System Developments Breakdown of Internal/External GFA at garden centres Introduce selection by site year of opening Review of parameter summary shown underneath trip rate calculation results outputs Toggle between displaying hourly and half-hourly trip rate results tables for Employment land uses Garden centre sites currently show GFA and RFA information, but we could make this clearer by providing a breakdown of internal and external area, which we could do quite easily for new sites entering the database (but not for existing sites). Another good suggestion is to include year of opening as a selection filter within the trip rate calculation selection process. The year of opening is provided for all sites entering the system, and has been available since the early days of TRICS, so we are set up to incorporate this into the selection process if we feel that this is appropriate. When you view an output of a trip rate calculation results table, you will notice the parameter selection summary just underneath it, indicating how many survey days have been manually excluded etc. It might be time to review this feature to see if we can add any more detail to it, providing data recipients with more information on how the results were arrived at, and of course encouraging good practice. Finally amongst this shortlist there is the suggestion of providing a toggle facility when viewing Employment trip rate tables, where you can view the tables by half-hourly (which is the default) or hourly periods. As Employment is the only main category where half-hourly data is available this would be an interesting development to produce trip rate tables by hour if a user felt this was needed, just as they are produced for all other categories of land use.Garden centre sites currently show GFA and RFA information, but we could make this clearer by providing a breakdown of internal and external area, which we could do quite easily for new sites entering the database (but not for existing sites).

16. Ideas for TRICS� Research Projects Having looked at suggested system developments, which will give us plenty of food for thought, we can now turn to user ideas for research projects. The User Survey always throws up some interesting ideas for work in this area, and we can go through a few of the most popular ideas today.Having looked at suggested system developments, which will give us plenty of food for thought, we can now turn to user ideas for research projects.

17. Pass-By & Diverted Trips Most often discussed potential research area Previous research in 1995 still being used Complicated area to focus on (POSSIBLE DISCUSSION TOPIC AT THE INTERACTIVE SESSION THIS AFTERNOON) By far the most often discussed potential research area is Pass-By & Diverted Trips. Our earlier report back in 1995 is still used, and this year this topic has dominated the results of the User Survey research section. We fully understand the need for some guidance in this area, and we have discussed the possibilities at length, but it does remain a complicated area requiring a well-defined focus for research to take place. I think this is quite possibly a good discussion topic for this afternoon�s interactive session. Perhaps those here today will have some ideas about how we can go about Pass-By & Diverted Trips research.By far the most often discussed potential research area is Pass-By & Diverted Trips.

18. Linked Trips at Mixed Use Developments Previous research looked into �multi-use� sites What are the travel behaviours at mixed use sites? Your ideas on a focus for such research are welcomed! Another popular topic is mixed use research and the travel behaviour that takes place at them. We have done some previous research which looked into �multi-use� retail and leisure sites, but this did not really cover mixed use as in sites with mixed land uses contained within them. Again, your ideas on how we could focus research into mixed use sites and linked trips would be welcomed when we have our interactive session this afternoon.Another popular topic is mixed use research and the travel behaviour that takes place at them.

19. Effect of Food Superstore Extensions Another popular topic amongst users What is the relationship between GFA and trip generation of an extended store? Before and after studies would be useful Here�s another topic that regularly comes up. What is the effect of food superstore extensions on trip generation? A growing number of �traditional� food superstores are expanding to include non-food elements such as household goods and clothing departments. We did introduce a new data field a while ago which indicates the amount of GFA that is non-food, but it would be good to undertake some before and after surveys at sites that have had extensions of this type. Perhaps some of the numerous food superstores within TRICS have been extended and are worth re-visiting.Here�s another topic that regularly comes up.

20. Some Other Suggested Research Topics Comparisons between approved and actual trip rates Effect of parking provision on mode choice Impact of providing shops and services within local residential areas Residential parking requirements when parking capacity is restricted As with system development ideas, there have been numerous ideas put forward for research, and there is not time to discuss them all, but here are a few of the more interesting ideas put forward recently. A comparison exercise between approved (presumably using TRICS) and actual trip rates following the construction of a development would be an interesting topic, as would an analysis of the effect of parking provision at a site on mode choice. Other ideas include looking at the impact of providing shops and services within local residential areas (i.e. what is the travel behaviour?), and what levels of parking take place at and around residential sites when parking is restricted? All good ideas worth considering.As with system development ideas, there have been numerous ideas put forward for research, and there is not time to discuss them all, but here are a few of the more interesting ideas put forward recently.

21. Land Use Categories Where More Surveys are Needed The top 10 from the 2010 User Survey responses� 1. Houses Privately Owned (03/A) 2. Warehousing (commercial) (02/F) 3. Care Home (05/L) 4. Flats Privately Owned (03/C) 5. Mixed Private Housing (03/K) The final part of this presentation is an analysis of User Survey responses to the question asking users what land use categories they would like to see more surveys undertaken at. The full results of the 2010 User Survey will be uploaded to the TRICS website in due course, but at the moment we can provide a flavour in the way of a Top Ten of categories. Number 1 in the list is Houses Privately Owned (03/A), Suprisingly followed this year by Warehousing (commercial) (02/F), and then in third place the new category of Care Home (05/L), suggesting that it was a good idea to commence surveys at this new category in 2010 (some of which are underway as we speak). In fourth place we have Flats Privately Owned (03/C), followed by Mixed Private Housing (03/K). As seems to be the case annually, residential categories are well represented at the top end of the list.The final part of this presentation is an analysis of User Survey responses to the question asking users what land use categories they would like to see more surveys undertaken at.

22. Land Use Categories Where More Surveys are Needed 6. Shopping Centre (local shops) (03/I) 7. Convenience Store (03/O) 8. Office (02/A) 9. Houses for Rent (03/B) 10. Mixed Private/Non-Private Housing (03/M) 15. Food Superstore (01/A) In 6th place we have the Shopping Centre (local shops) category (03/I), followed by Convenience Stores (03/O), Offices (02/A), Houses for Rent (03/B), and in 10th place Mixed Private/Non-Private Housing (03/M). Interesting, the Food Superstore category (01/A) has dropped down from the top of the list to 15th place in the 2010 analysis.In 6th place we have the Shopping Centre (local shops) category (03/I), followed by Convenience Stores (03/O), Offices (02/A), Houses for Rent (03/B), and in 10th place Mixed Private/Non-Private Housing (03/M). Interesting, the Food Superstore category (01/A) has dropped down from the top of the list to 15th place in the 2010 analysis.

23. Retail Land Use Categories We can quickly run through the main 7 categories in the database, showing you sub-categories where users felt that more data was needed. Here we have the first main category, which is Residential. As we can see, users are particularly keen on seeing more surveys undertaken at Shopping Centres (local shops) and Convenience Stores in 2011, with other sub-categories such as Food Superstores , Retail Parks and |Mixed Shopping Malls not too far behind. All of this analysis will of course be taken into account when we decide on our 2011 data collection programme, work on which will commence this autumn.We can quickly run through the main 7 categories in the database, showing you sub-categories where users felt that more data was needed.

24. Employment Land Use Categories The second main category is Employment, with the sub-category of Warehousing (commercial) seemingly the most popular in terms of users wanting to see more data. There was a reasonable spread across the other categories, with the exception of Parcel Distribution Centres and Quarries.The second main category is Employment, with the sub-category of Warehousing (commercial) seemingly the most popular in terms of users wanting to see more data.

25. Residential Land Use Categories Houses Privately Owned dominates the Residential category, with a variation across the other sub-categories. It would seem overall that residential surveys remain popular within TRICS, and this is confirmed by our own analysis of user habits.Houses Privately Owned dominates the Residential category, with a variation across the other sub-categories.

26. Education Land Use Categories The Education category shows that more data is wanted for both Primary and Secondary Schools, with somewhat less needed for other sub-categories.The Education category shows that more data is wanted for both Primary and Secondary Schools, with somewhat less needed for other sub-categories.

27. Health Land Use Categories Within the Health category we see some clear water between sub-categories, with the new sub-category of Care Home requiring surveys. As mentioned a little earlier we are already on the case with this, undertaking care homes as part of our 2010 data collection programme, and this looks set to continue in 2011. Other popular sub-categories include GP Surgeries and Nursing Homes.Within the Health category we see some clear water between sub-categories, with the new sub-category of Care Home requiring surveys.
