  "abstract": "<p>This study mainly focuses on the Addis Ababa Light Rail Transit (AALRT) estimation of<br>\nresidential based person internal trips which unless analyzed can affects the project<br>\njustification during the early stage of project installation, transportation planning during<br>\noperation stages, identification of markets, service planning, facility assessments and<br>\nrevenue estimations.<br>\nTo estimate the trips the required primary and secondary data are collected, the primary<br>\ndata on locations closest to LRT routes are collected with a direct observation and<br>\ninterviewing of government officials and the secondary data on socio-economic data,<br>\ncensus data and land use data are collected from various sources such as Central Statistics<br>\nAuthority, Addis Ababa Transport Authority and Addis Ababa City Plan Institute. The<br>\ndata gathered are analyzed using the Land Activity Rate or Land Use Method of trip<br>\nbased model for the base year trip production calculation and Growth Factor Methods for<br>\nfuture trip projection calculations.<br>\nthe land activity rate is used to determine the total land areas covered by the LRT routes<br>\nand the Institute for Transportation Engineers (ITE) standard is used to determine the<br>\ntrips per hectare produced and finally the growth factor method is used to project the<br>\ntrips for future times.</p>",
