In Malaysia, the car ownership is growing rapidly in recent years. The same situation even occurs in the school area. This trend seems to be continuing in the future if the environment also remains growing in trend as before. The main objective of this project is to produce regression equations for trip generation in primary schools during morning peak hour and evening peak hour based on selected variables and compare these equations with the general trip generation equation for primary school produced by HPU (Highway Planning Unit). Trip generation forecast during planning stage is very important in order to ensure that the transportation problem in the school area, such as traffic congestion and parking problems, will not occur in the future. This project also will determined whether the general trip generation equation for primary school produced by HPU, which is only based on certain area in Malaysia, can be use to all primary school or not. For this project, Sekolah Kebangsaan Tronoh, Sekolah Kebangsaan Pusing and Sekolah Kebangsaan Siputeh have been chosen as the study areas. The scope of study for the project include literature review, trip generation survey and data analysis. In this project, the methodology has been divided into several stages which are selection of study area, data collection for trip generation survey, data collection for independent variables, data analysis and finally the comparison of results with the HPU. Hopefully, this project will improve the Malaysian Trip Generation Manual.
