Development of an Efficient Solution Method for the Wilson's Trip Distribution Model

엔트로피 극대화 통행배분모형의 효율적 해법 개발

Wilson made an importent contribution to develop a trip distribution model with the general form of gravity model which is an entropy maximization program. Also Wilson suggested a technique which is called the "iterative balancing method" for soving the model. This te-chnique however is not stable to find solution because it is a heuristic method and sometimes does not converge to the correct solution. In this paper a new solution method using a numerical method for solving the non-linear simultaneous equation system is developed and evaluated in both computers VAX 8700 and PC/AT 286 The result of this method and Wilson's method are compared with each other. Wilson's method resulted in inferior solutions measured by the final norm of residuals.
