The purpose of this analysis is to estimate the total trips that are to enter/exit the site during an average weekday because there is little empirical data provided by ITE for such a facility. ASSUMPTIONS Based on discussions with the operator of the proposed facility, the following assumptions were made for specific operation parameters of the site: Customers per day - 5 (assumed based on site characteristics) Truck utilization (dump truck capacity) —80% (based on discussion with client) Truck utilization (tractor trailer capacity) — 95% (based on discussion with client) OPERATION OF FACILITY To determine the number of trips to/from the site based on production, the following was provided through discussion with the client: Maximum number of employees — 10 per shift Number of shifts - 1 per day - Hours of operation 7AM — 5PM Mon -Fri 7AM — IPM Sat Grinder operation 51% Capacity of production 2500 — 2750 CY/wk Tractor trailer capacity 70-80 CY/load Dump truck capacity 12-15 CY/load Maximum dump trucks served 50 trucks/day (limitation of production due to site constraint) Also note that this analysis is under the assumption that the inflow (dump truck trips only) and outflow (tractor trailer trips only) of the site are approximately equal under typical daily operations.
