Trip generation and parking demand surveys of fast food outlets : data report

Bitzios Consulting has been commissioned by Roads and Maritime Services (RMS), NSW to undertake a traffic generation and parking demand survey and analysis of fast food outlets. Previous trip generation and parking demand surveys were undertaken in 1980 (Fast Food Outlets) and 1992 (Drive-through Fast Food Outlets). These studies were based on two fast food franchises, namely McDonalds and KFC, with the results showing considerable variation between franchises with McDonalds experiencing almost twice the number of visitation to KFC. RMS recognise that an update to this data and analysis is required as considerable changes have occurred since the 80’s and 90’s that may influence the trip and parking generation for fast food outlets.
