Abstract: The number of studies examining Freight Trip Generation (FTG) has increased over the years. However, FTG modeling studies in different urban settings have presented wide-ranging results in terms of the relationship between establishment characteristics, freight deliveries, and resultant freight vehicle trips produced and attracted. This study aims to evaluate freight trips generated around retail developments or commercial districts in dense metropolitan areas, commonplace in both emerging and developed cities, which are known to attract high footfall and represent key freight attracting nodes.
