TIPS: Trip Generation, Internal Capture, and Pass-by Software
Download and Instructions Page

 

Note: TIPS is no longer supported, however we keep it online as a convenience and as a "rough estimation" tool. We do not offer advice on this software and we will not update this particular product.


We are currently looking into other options to help you calculate trip generation. For a spreadsheet with the 8th edition of Trip Generation follow the link below: Trip Generation Spreadsheet.

For the most recent research on Trip Internalization, go to TRB.


In 2007, the Florida Department of Transportation developed a trip generation calculation tool called TIPS (Trip generation, Internal capture, and Pass-by Software) to estimate the number of trips generated by specific land uses of a proposed land development. This application uses rates and equations from the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation, 7th Edition. It has never been updated to the 8th nor 9th editions. We have no plans to update this software but we are looking at other options.
