The Trip Rate Information Computer System or TRICS® is an interactive database and data analysis system consisting of a large number of survey records of developments across a number of industries and uses.
The software is used by the transport planning industry to predict transport impacts of new developments and to calculate the potential for the trip generation; including traffic (cars & HGVs), pedestrian, cyclist and public transport movements.
Launched in 1989, and run by six county councils in the South of England, the TRICS® database contains over 7,150 multi-modal directional transport surveys covering over 100 types of development; and is collectively known as the TRICS® Consortium.
