Trip Generation Surveys for Medical Centres in Greater Sydney and Regional NSW

14 medical centres in Greater Metropolitan Sydney and 6 in Regional NSW were surveyed for vehicle and person trip characteristics. The dataset was created by TEF Consulting for the NSW Government to update the mid-1990s 'Guide to Traffic Generating Developments'. The analysis report was last updated on 2026-06-26.

Use Cases

• Modeling vehicle trip generation rates for medical centres based on survey data.
• Estimating parking space requirements for new healthcare developments based on observed demand.
• Analyzing the impact of public transport on person trips to medical facilities.
• Updating outdated traffic generation guidelines for the land use category 'medical centres'.

Strengths

• Survey data covers 20 specific medical centre sites, providing concrete observations.
• Explicitly addresses the need to update data from a guide published in the mid-1990s.
• Includes both vehicle and person trip characteristics, which may allow for multimodal analysis.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, which limits suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the data_gov_au platform, focusing only on NSW, Australia.
• The primary data format is PDF, which may complicate automated data extraction and analysis.
