Abstract
This chapter discusses the techniques available for estimation of vehicle trips, both loaded and empty, using the output of commodity-based models. To this effect, the chapter analyses the interconnections between mode and vehicle choice and the generation of loaded trips. In doing this, the chapter establishes the importance of producing solid estimates of the average amount of cargo that they transport. The chapter critically reviews the methodologies available for estimation of empty trips, analyses the empirical evidence, and produces a set of recommendations intended to help practitioners and researchers select the most appropriate modelling techniques. The chapter ends with concluding remarks.
