Abstract

La localización de polos generadores de viajes comerciales produce en el área de influencia impactos urbanos por aumentos de viajes motorizados que afectan la calidad de vida y el ambiente. Para mejor comprensión de este fenómeno, se reporta en el presente artículo un análisis de tasas y modelos de generación de viajes en hipermercados y supermercados efectuado con relación a variaciones en el tiempo y al porte de los establecimientos tomando experiencias de Estados Unidos. Se analizan diferentes ediciones del Trip Generation Manual publicado por el ITE (Institute of Transportation Engineers) observando que las tasas reportadas de generación de viajes motorizados disminuyen con el aumento de Área Total Construida (ATC), como variable independiente. Este efecto también se observa en modelos de Shopping Centers que abarcan los rangos de ATC de hipermercados y supermercados, lo que permite vincular estos usos del suelo. Finalmente, la relación entre generación de viajes y porte del establecimiento se prueba para casos de hipermercados en Argentina, y se formulan modelos de generación con funciones de potencia de exponente 2/3 para la variable independiente ATC. The location of commercial trip generation hubs produces urban impacts in the area of influence since they increase the number of vehicle trips that affects environment and quality of life. For better understanding of this phenomenon, it is reported in this article an analysis of trip generation rates and models in hypermarkets and supermarkets considering different periods of time and size of the establishments, taking into account USA experiences. After analyzing several editions of the Trip Generation Manual published by ITE (Institute of Transportation Engineers) it is noted that the reported generation rates of vehicle trips decrease with increasing Gross Floor Area (GFA), as the independent variable. This effect is also observed in Shopping Centers models, where the ranges of GFA include those of hypermarkets and supermarkets, allowing to relate these land uses. Finally , the relationship between trip generation and size of the establishment is checked for hypermarkets in Argentina, and generation models of power functions with exponent 2/3 for the independent variable GFA are proposed.
