    TRICS (Trip Rate Information Computer System) is a database of trip rates for developments used in the United Kingdom for transport planning purposes,[1] specifically to quantify the trip generation of new developments.[2]

    The TRICS Consortium describes TRICS as follows:

    TRICS is the system that challenges and validates assumptions about the transport impacts of new developments. It is the national system of trip generation analysis, a large database of inbound & outbound transport surveys covering a wide variety of development types.

    Release history

    The database was established in 1989[3] by six county councils in South East England (Dorset, East Sussex, Hampshire, Kent, Surrey and West Sussex). It is now maintained by TRICS Consortium Ltd, based in Barnet, London.

    TRICS 7, a major update, was released in late 2013.
