  1. Trip generation and parking demand Trip generation and parking demand of suburban mosques in the greater of suburban mosques in the greater Cape Town, Western Cape Cape Town, Western Cape Authors: A. Salasa and Dr L. dV Roodt Presenter: Megan Bruwer

  2. 1. Introduction DOT & COTO: TMH 17 ITE: Trip Generation Manual TMH 17 does not provide trip generation rates specifically for mosques Uses of a mosque differ greatly from that of a church It is important to develop specific local trip generation rates

  3. 1. Introduction ITE Vehicle Trip Generation Rates Unit Description (Square feet) Weekday AM PM Church 1000 9.11 0.56 0.55 Synagogue 1000 10.64 0.14 1.69 Mosque 1000 NA 1.63 11.02 Note: 1000 square feet = 92.3 square metre

Trip generation rates of Jumua mosques Table 3: Calculated trip generation rates and parking demand of Jumua mosques Trip generation per household Standard deviation 0.08 Samples Split (in:out) Average rate Range of rates 3 Samples Trip generation per prayer space 100 in : 0 out 0.86 0.77 - 0.95 Standard deviation 0.15 Samples Split (in:out) Average rate Range of rates 4 100 in : 0 out 0.43 0.26 - 0.63 Trip generation per 100 m2 prayer floor area Standard deviation 21.0 Samples Split (in:out) Average rate Range of rates 4 100 in : 0 out 59.7 36 - 87 Trip generation per worshipper Standard deviation 0.12 Samples Split (in:out) Average rate Range of rates 5 100 in : 0 out 0.39 0.24 0.59

  21. 4. Trip generation rates of Jumua mosques cont The number of worshippers was also used to relate to the independent variables and found to be: 3.5 worshippers per household 1.1 worshippers per prayer space 150 worshippers per 100 m2

  22. 4. Trip generation rates of Jumua mosques cont The number of worshippers was also used to relate to the independent variables and found to be: 3.5 worshippers per household 1.1 worshippers per prayer space 150 worshippers per 100 m2 The ratios of vehicles from areas outside the mosque vehicle registration zone were calculated 3 of the mosques attracted between 32% and 36% of vehicles from outside 2 attracted only 11% to 15%

  25. 7. Discussion & conclusions Jumua mosques Number of households in the area increased, the number of vehicles that originated from an outlying area decreased

  26. 7. Discussion & conclusions cont Jumua mosques Number of households in the area increased, the number of vehicles that originated from an outlying area decreased Trip attraction = Parking demand

  27. 7. Discussion & conclusions cont Jumua mosques Number of households in the area increased, the number of vehicles that originated from an outlying area decreased Trip attraction = Parking demand Directional split in the peak hour was 100:0 (In:Out)

  28. 7. Discussion & conclusions cont Jumua mosques Number of households in the area increased, the number of vehicles that originated from an outlying area decreased Trip attraction = Parking demand Directional split in the peak hour was 100:0 (In:Out) Trip generation rate: 0.86 trips/household

  29. 7. Discussion & conclusions cont Jumua mosques Number of households in the area increased, the number of vehicles that originated from an outlying area decreased Trip attraction = Parking demand Directional split in the peak hour was 100:0 (In:Out) Trip generation rate: 0.86 trips/household Trip generation rate: 0.43 trips/prayer space Trip generation rate: 0.39 trips/worshipper

  30. 7. Discussion & conclusions cont Jumua mosques Number of households in the area increased, the number of vehicles that originated from an outlying area decreased Trip attraction = Parking demand Directional split in the peak hour was 100:0 (In:Out) Trip generation rate: 0.86 trips/household Trip generation rate: 0.43 trips/prayer space Trip generation rate: 0.39 trips/worshipper Trip generation rate: 59.7 trips/100 m2 prayer floor area

  31. 7. Discussion & conclusions cont Non-Jumua mosques Trip generation rate: 0.062 trips/prayer space

  32. 7. Discussion & conclusions cont Non-Jumua mosques Trip generation rate: 0.062 trips/prayer space Trip generation rate: 8.64 trips/100 m2 prayer floor area

  33. 7. Discussion & conclusions cont Non-Jumua mosques Trip generation rate: 0.062 trips/prayer space Trip generation rate: 8.64 trips/100 m2 prayer floor area Capacity in excess of 40 prayer spaces should be subject to traffic impact assessments or studies as it can be assigned to be a Jumua mosque Islamic law requires more than 40 adult males for a Jumua prayer meeting

  34. 8. Recommendations Suburban mosques Average trip generation rates from a design point of view

  35. 8. Recommendations cont Table 6: Proposed design values for trip generation and parking demand for suburban mosques with a capacity of more than 40 prayer spaces Vehicle trip generation rate Parking demand 1 0.6 80 Per Muslim household Per prayer space Per 100m2 prayer floor space 1 0.6 80

  36. 8. Recommendations cont Suburban mosques Average trip generation rates from a design point of view Directional distribution is 100% in during the peak hour on Friday between 12:45 PM and 1:45 PM Parking demand peaks at 1:00 PM

  37. 8. Recommendations cont Suburban mosques Average trip generation rates from a design point of view Directional distribution is 100% in during the peak hour on Friday between 12:45 PM and 1:45 PM Parking demand peaks at 1:00 PM Mosques with less than 40 prayer spaces (30 m2)
