A data driven method for OD matrix estimation

The fundamental challenge of the origin-destination (OD) matrix estimation problem is that it is severely under-determined. In this paper we propose a new data driven OD estimation method for cases where a supply pattern in the form of speeds and flows is available. We show that with these input data, we do not require an iterative dynamic...

Dynamic OD demand estimation and prediction for dynamic traffic management

Dynamic origin-destination (OD) demand is important input to many simulation models applied within dynamic traffic management systems (DTMS) for predicting traffic states on the network. The inability to provide high-quality dynamic OD demand estimates makes prediction with simulation models simply impossible, irrespective of how well these...

A framework for the benchmarking of OD estimation and prediction algorithms

In this research we describe the development of a common evaluation and benchmarking platform that has been developed within the framework of the European Union COST Action MULTITUDE. The main goal of this platform is to provide a testbed in which a number of algorithms can be implemented and tested under the same conditions. The objective is...
