How trips have changed from drive thrus to deliveries

This podcast explores an insight into TRICS - the system of multi-modal trip generation analysis for developments in the UK and Ireland. The podcast provides unique insights into work developed by TRICS that tells us how trips have changed over time and how this is reshaping the landscape - from drive thrus increasing to shifts in supermarket shopping trends.

Featuring an interview with Ian Coles is Managing Director at TRICS Consortium Limited.

Ian has worked on the TRICS project for almost 34 years, having first encountered it upon joining JMP as a Technical Assistant in 1991. He went on to eventually be the TRICS Project Manager for some 20 years, with this role continuing upon TRICS becoming an independent Limited Company in January 2015 (and about to celebrate 10 years as such in 2025). In 2023 he became Project Director and was appointed Managing Director in September 2024.
Ian’s TRICS project milestones through his career include the introduction of Multi-Modal surveys in 2000, the implementation of Standardised Assessment Methodology (SAM) surveys for monitoring developments with Travel Plans in 2005, delivering TRICS as a live web application in 2007, and the TRICS 7 system upgrade and redesign in 2013. Along the way he has seen much change in the industry and has ensured that TRICS continues to adapt, evolve and innovate to meet the needs of its users, also known as the TRICS Community. More recent and ongoing work has been directing the commission of TRICS 8, which is a major system upgrade and redesign (currently under development), plus the further integration of TRICS with Vision Led Transport Planning.
