Abstract Despite recent advancements in the Freight Trip Generation (FTG) modelling literature, there is a lack of understanding on the effect of the choice of a regression model, measurement period (daily/weekly FTG), and spatial dependence on model fit and freight-related policies. This study addresses these research gaps by developing non-spatial and spatial autoregressive multiple linear regression and count models for daily and weekly Freight Trip Production (FTP) and Freight Trip Attraction (FTA). We model Freight Shipments (FS) as FTP and Freight Deliveries (FD) as FTA. The results show that the best model for daily and weekly FTP is the spatial Zero-Inflated Negative Binomial (ZINB) model. The best daily and weekly FTA model is the non-spatial Negative Binomial (NB) model. The findings indicate the presence of spatial dependence in the best FTP model, while it is absent in the best FTA model. The elasticity analysis shows that daily models may lead to bias and inaccurate prediction of policy impacts. The study recommends using count models that capture more FTG characteristics with a week as the measurement period and consider spatial dependence, if present.

    Highlights Non-spatial and spatial regression approaches are compared for FTG. The study evaluated the effect of the measurement period on FTG models. Regression models that capture more FTG characteristics provide a better fit. Spatial dependence is present in FTP and absent in FTA. Modelling at a daily measurement period leads to biased model estimates.
