N2  - This paper presents a methodology designed to assess the impacts of shopping centers on urban road systems in a manner compatible with the situation in Brazil. This methodology is the outcome of an analysis of the existing procedures, stressing the development by Grando (1986) and in the USA. The main reason behind this paper is the fact that US methodologies do not take into account the characteristics and requirements of Brazilian town planning and transportation entities, failing to make provision for the specific characteristics of Brazilian malls. It also briefly describes the stages constituting the proposed methodology, stressing Trip Generation and Modal Split. It is hoped that this project will help ensure more effective planning and designs for these enterprises.<p />
