7)employment status
8)Age of employee
Suggest your answer of above parameters ....create effect positive(increase) or negative(decrease) in view of industrial trip generation.
Dear Prof. Patel,
All these factors may have different influences from case to case.
Production area seems to be positively associated with the trips.
Travel time, cost and distance can be expected to have negative correlation with the trips.
Income of employee after certain extent (i.e. if vehicles are affordable) can be positively correlated with the trips. It might appear that for initial increase in the income upto some extent, may not show increase in the trips, but later on it may have a positive impact on trips.
Number of employee can have both the effects, in case of more employees the employer may provide them company travel facility which will obviously reduce the number of trips. Whereas, if lower number of employees are there, providing combined transport facility may not be economical for the employer. So, it may increase the trips despite of lower number of employees.
Employment status seems to be vague term to me. But higher the position, the higher the income and so will be the trips.
Age of employee may also have mixed effects taking into consideration that income is likely to increase with age which makes personal vehicle affordable, and on the other hand, with increase in age the efficiency of the employee to make trips reduces.
It can be an interesting study.

I believe the type of industry influences the trip generation. Any trip is affected by travel cost, distance, toll & parking cost. Larger production area will definitely attract more trips either by employees or customers (B2B or B2C).
