Abstract
The households to be surveyed are usually huge number at the level of a city or metropolitan survey, not to mention a nationwide travel survey. Therefore, household travel surveys to figure out true origin-destination (O/D) trip patterns (population O/D) are conducted through a sampling method rather than by surveying all of the population in the system. Therefore, the population O/D pattern can only be estimated by expanding the sampled O/D patterns to the population. It is very difficult to avoid the errors involved in the process of sampling, surveying and expanding O/D data. In order to minimize such errors while estimating the true O/D patterns of the population, the validation and adjustment process should employed by doing a comparison between the expanded sample O/D data and observed link traffic volumes. This study suggests a method of validation and adjustment of the expanded sample O/D data by comparing observed link volumes at several screenlines. The study also suggests a practical technique to modify O/D pairs which are excluded in the screenline validation process by comparing observed traffic volume with the results of traffic assignment analysis. An empirical study was also conducted as an example applying the suggested methods of validation and adjustment with Korea's nationwide O/D data and highway network.
