Trip Generation and Parking Rates Manual
Emirate of Abu Dhabi
First Edition 2012

Preface
The Department of Transport (DoT) in Abu Dhabi is committed to delivering a transport system that contributes to the economic growth, quality of
life and environmental sustainability of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. The creation of a world class transport system starts with an understanding of
the demand for travel to the various land uses within the Emirate. By collecting and sharing this important travel information, transport decisions

In response to this need, the DoT has prepared this First Edition of the “Trip Generation and Parking Rates Manual for the Emirate of Abu Dhabi
(ADTGM)”. Based on international best practices and extensive research and surveys undertaken into development trends in the Emirate, the
manual contains trip generation and parking demand rates for various land uses existing within the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. These rates have been
obtained through the survey and analysis of nearly 400 different sites throughout the Emirate.
It is intended that this manual will provide assistance to a wide range of people including government agencies, developers, engineers and
architects. Through the appropriate use of this manual it will be feasible to forecast the transport impact and requirements of proposed developments,

The Manual consists of two parts. Part 1 of this manual provides information on the processes followed in its development and detailed instructions
on how the manual should be used. Part 2 contains the trip generation and parking demand rates for each of the land uses adopted for the manual.

1.1 Introduction
1.1.1 Background
In recent decades the Emirate of Abu Dhabi has emerged as a global destination experiencing iencing substantial growth in commerce, industry,
international trade and tourism. This rapid growth has attracted many visitors to Abu Dhabi, helping to create a rich and diverse society. At the
same time, the Emirate has sought to preserve its national and cultural identity which is evident
nt today in the varied lifestyles existing in Abu Dhabi,
Al Ain and other centres within the Emirate.

1 Introduction
In addition to the vehicular trip generation and parking rates contained in this manual, a range of multi-modal travel information has been collated
for each land use. This includes information on travel by all forms of public transport, as well as walking and cycling trips. The multi-modal
travel information can be used for a range of design purposes such as provision of adequate bus and taxi parking facilities or adequate widths

development can be obtained from the DoT through the Transportation Impact Study (TIS) process.
In keeping with other international trip generation manuals, the trip generation for each land use has been determined for the morning (AM),
midday (Noon) and evening (PM) peak hour to coincide with the traditional peak periods of travel as observed on the roads of Abu Dhabi. These
surveys reveal that the morning (AM), midday (Noon) and evening (PM) peak hours occur during the periods of 06:00 to 09:00, 12:00 to 14:00
and 17:00 to 20:00 respectively.
The surveys also revealed the highest trip generating hour in a day for a land use. This is termed as the Peak Hour Generator (PHG). It has been
observed that occasionally the PHG does not fall within the AM, Noon and PM peak hours.
As well as determining the trip generation and parking rate requirements for each land use, the manual also presents the rates for some land
uses based on their spatial distribution. For example, residential developments in Abu Dhabi exhibit different travel characteristics to residential

when allocating the parking for a development, such as availability of on-street parking and access to public transport. Supporting the wider vision
of the 2030 Surface Transport Master Plans, the DoT seeks to balance the requirement of providing adequate parking with the desire to improve
the public realm and encourage travel by sustainable modes.

of factors including availability of representative sites within Abu Dhabi and popularity of the Land use Class for development applications. The

A range of survey types were undertaken at each site to capture the travel characteristics of the occupants and visitors to a development. The
surveys undertaken for the manual were as follows:

Conducted by trained interviewers, these surveys provided valuable information on the purpose of travel
of visitors and their mode of transport to the development. Depending on the Land use Class, additional
Site Interview Surveys
survey information was captured through the site interview. This included identifying the number of Pass-
by-Trips for certain retail developments or the vehicle ownership levels for residential developments.
Person counts were undertaken at all entry and exit points to a surveyed development in order to capture

These surveys required the counting of the total number of persons present in a vehicle when entering or

The purpose of these surveys was to record the parking accumulation of a development throughout the

which have dedicated parking lots within the perimeter of the site.

process involved three sequential steps as presented in Figure 5 below:

Step-2 Calculation of Trip Generation and Parking Rates for Individual Sites
Following the data checking exercise, trip generation and parking rates were calculated individually for each of the surveyed sites.
Travel information collected during the site interviews was expanded at each access point using the person count survey data in order to obtain
the total trip numbers at each access point. The trip numbers at each access point were then combined to provide an overall trip generation rate
for the site. Other collected information such as the ATCs and vehicle occupancy rates were used to validate the trip generation rates derived from
the person counts and site interviews.
A similar process was undertaken to determine the individual parking demand rates for each site. In this case, the parking surveys, ATCs and
vehicle occupancy results were used to validate the parking rates for sites which have dedicated parking lots.

The independent variable of a Land use Class is the unit by which a development is measured. In this manual, typical independent variables
include Gross Floor Area (GFA), Gross Leasable Area (GLA), number of Bedrooms, number of Employees, number of Seats etc.
A land use is typically allocated an independent variable based on its representativeness of the Land use Class and the availability of information

breakdown of apartments is:
