This is the presentation given by Jon Kostyniuk at the #ITEToronto2017 conference on August 1, 2017. The TripChain framework represents an innovation in how trip generation data points can be stored and propagated for use within the transportation industry. This is accomplished through the implementation of a distributed, open peer-to-peer database for transportation professionals. For more information, please visit http://tripchain.org/.

4. Current State of Trip Generation

5. Current State
• ITE dominant authority on Trip Generation
– Hardcopy manual predominant source
– Manual updates approx. every 5 years
• OTISS digital format of ITE rates
– Pay for use, not widely used
• Other data sources, but less known/prevalent
– Format inconsistences between various sources
– No widely adopted data standard outside of ITE

6. Recent ITE Trip Generation Activity
• ITE Journal, July 2016
– ITE Statement on the Future Direction of Trip Generation
– Advances in Urban Trip Generation articles – "Steps Forward”
• ITE Urban and Person Trip Generation whitepaper – Fall 2016
• Online submission and improved data format – Fall 2016
– http://www.itedatasubmission.org/
– Approx. 180 digital submissions between Oct. 16 and Jan. 17
• Recent Call for Data – January 2017
• Upcoming ITE Trip Generation Manual, 10th Edition – August 2017
– New data from over 1,700 sites – hardcopy, web app, data

11. What is TripChain?

12. Project Objectives
a.k.a. “What’s in it for you?” (Audience)
• Make it easier to contribute new data;
• Promote more robust usage between
transportation professionals / authorities; and
• Help professionals better plan for local situations
using targeted trip generation rates.

18. How does TripChain work?

19. Understanding Definitions
• Application Program Interface (API):
– A set of routines, protocols, and tools for building
software applications. An API specifies how software
components should interact. A good API makes it easier
to develop an application by providing all the building
blocks needed.

21. Understanding Definitions
• Blockchain Database:
– A blockchain is a distributed database that is updated in
near real time, stored in decentralized locations, and
easy to monitor. It has a level of security that insures
that no one party can modify a database entry, because,
in a sense, everyone is watching.

26. Characteristics and Benefits
of Blockchain Technology
tripchain.org @TripChain
Process Characteristics Blockchain Benefits
Consensus between
Multiple Parties
Enhanced coordination and choreography between
parties through a shared view of the latest data status.
Reconciliation Master source of data instead of disparate data sources
that require constant validation and reconciliation.
Data Lineage
(Temporal or 4D Data)
Complete traceability, ensuring integrity of data that is
continuously updated and maintained by multiple parties.
Auditability Reliable and accurate audit trail with transparency of the
party responsible for each data change.
