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 traffic and parking characteristics. The dataset was created by TEF Consulting for the NSW Government to update the outdated 'Guide to Traffic Generating Developments'. It addresses the under-representation of modern medical practices and the lack of public transport accounting in previous surveys.

Use Cases

• Modeling vehicle trip generation rates for medical centres based on survey data.
• Estimating parking demand for new healthcare developments based on observed characteristics.
• Analyzing the impact of public transport on person trips to medical facilities.
• Updating traffic generation guidelines for evolving medical practices and larger centre formats.

Strengths

• Survey covers 20 specific medical centre sites, providing a concrete sample size.
• Explicitly addresses gaps in prior data, including new business types and public transport.
• Data is associated with a formal government report and consulting study.

Limitations

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