With intense developments in residential use and work centres spread over the city of Thiruvananthapuram there has been steep rise in mobility pattern of the people, putting the transport infrastructure of the city to great stress. Despite these prevailing problem, effort to make an empirical study on the city’s urban transportation is significant. This paper attempts to develop a home-based trip generation model to examine the factors influencing the trip generation rate in the study area.
