The origin and destination(O-D) matrix is one of the most important elements in transportation planning process. Traditionally, transport planners survey the O-D movements in order to estimate the O-D matrix. Even though the cost of the O-D survey requires high amounts of resources, the accuracy is relatively low. Therefore, many researchers have studied the estimation of the O-D matrix for automobile from traffic counts. however, there is a little attention for the application on the transit O-D matrix estimation from traffic counts. The objective of this study is therefore the estimation of the transit O-D matrix from traffic counts using Gradient method. which is verified by the reliability analysis using a contrived small example network.

The expressway network includes a total of about 1,899 km in our country The only 1,016 km of that is being managed by the closed Toll Collection System(TCS) which is composed of 74 tollgates. We obtain inter-tollgate O-D matrices from that system everyday. But, they are not traffic-zonal O-D matrices. So they have not been used for the expressway traffic analysis and the traffic demand estimation despite of their accuracy. If we could estimate the traffic-zonal O-D matrices from TCS O-D ones, we could perform expressway traffic analysis more efficiently. Moreover we could obtain more precise expressway O-D matrices and traffic-zonal O/D ones by this approach than by the conventional ones. In this paper. we proposed the model estimating traffic-zonal O/D matrices from TCS O-D ones. The assigned volumes with the estimated traffic-zonal O-D matrices produced the only 17.9% error all over the TCS expressway section when compared to the real traffic volumes. So, the proposed model enables for us to estimate more accurate O/D matrics than any other existing methods.

대부분의 관측교통량기반 수요추정기법은 소규모 및 중규모 교통망 등의 상대적으로 규모가 작은 교통망에서 기본적으로 가정된 수요를 가지고 얻은 추정O/D를 기본O/D와 비교하여 그 추정의 정확성이 어느 정도인가를 오차분석법 등을 이용하여 비교.분석하는 것이 그 주요한 분석방향이라고 할 수 있었다. 이러한 접근법은 실제 현실에서는 알 수 없는 참O/D나 참관측교통량을 가정하고 제시된 모형을 면밀히 관찰하여 모형의 장단점이 무엇인지를 파악하거나 타모형과의 비교.분석을 용이하게 하고자 할 때 많이 이용된다. 그러나 이러한 가정된 교통망이나 참O/D(true O/D) 등은 모형의 적용가능성을 살필 경우에 이용 가능한 방법이라고 할 수 있지만, 참O/D를 알지 못하는 현실상황(대규모 교통망)에서는 추정O/D의 신뢰성을 평가하기란 매우 힘든 작업이거나 거의 불가능한 일이라 할 수 있다. 이러한 문제점을 보완하고자 본 연구에서는 서울시의 1996년도 교통센서스 자료를 이용하여 가정된 수요가 아닌 실제적이고 현실적인 자료를 가지고 대규모 교통망에서 이용될 수 있는 모형을 살펴보았다. 연구방법은 대규모 교통망에 기존의 단일차종기반모형과 본 연구에서 제시한 다차종(multiclass)기반모형을 적용하여 추정된 O/D에 TLFD(Trip Length Frequency Distribution)개념을 이용하여 추정된 O/D의 신뢰성을 평가하고자 하였다. 또한, $R^2$를 이용하여 모형 적용 전후의 관측교통량과 배분교통량을 비교하여 추정력을 분석하였다. 본 연구에서는 단일차종기반모형보다는 차종간 혼잡효과 및 노선선택비율을 차종별로 감안할 수 있는 다차종기반모형이 대규모교통망에서는 보다 적절한 결과를 나타내는 것으로 분석되었다.

이 논문은 O-D 접근방법과 P-A 접근방법을 이론적으로 서로 비교한 연구이다. O-D 접근방법은 전통적인 교통수요 4단계 분석기법의 모든 과정에서 통행수 산출을 통행 유출과 통행유인의 개념을 적용하여 O-D 통행량을 사용한 기법으로 정의되었다. 이러한 O-D 접근방법은 우리 나라에서 보편적으로 사용되고 있는 기법이다. P-A 접근방법은 통행 발생, 통행분포, 교통수단선책 분석과정까지 통행생성과 통행유인의 개념을 적용하여 P-A 통행량을 사용한 기법으로 정의되었으며, 노선배경 분석단계에 앞서 P-A 통행량을 O-D 통 행량으로 전환되어져야 한다. P-A 접근방법은 구미국가들에서 보편적으로 사용되는 기법이 다. 이러한 두 접근방법은 통행목적 분류에서 귀가통행이 별도로 분류되어있는가 혹은 아닌 가에 따라 쉽게 구분되어 질 수 있다. 만일 귀가통행이 통행목적의 분류에서 별도로 구분되 어 있으면 O-D 접근방법이 적용되고 있음을 의미하는 것이다. 이 연구는 전통적 교통수요 4단계 분석과정 중 통행발생, 통행분포 및 교통수단선택의 각 분석과정에서 두 접근방법간 의 이론적 차이점을 명확히 비교 분석하고자 하였다. 그러므로써 형태적 통행패턴을 상대적 으로 잘 설명하며 또한 집합적 오차를 상대적으로 초 lth화할 수 있는 기법이 어느 것인가 를 이론적으로 찾고자 하였다. 이 연구에서는 행태적 측면에서 통행패턴을 P-A 접근방법이 더 잘 표현하고 있으며 또한 집합화 오차도 P-A 접근방법이 더 적으므로 P-A 접근방법이 O-D 접근방법보다 이론적으로 더 우수하다고 결론지었다. 또한 이 연구는 통행발생, 통행 분포, 교통수단선택 분석과정이 끝난 후 P-A 통행량에서 O-D 통행량으로 전환하는 것이 통행발생, 통행분포의 분석과정이 끝난 후에 O-D 통행량으로 전환하는 것보다 더 바람직하 다고 추천하였다.

In the transportation planning process, origin and destination(O-D) trip matrix is one of the most important elements. There have been developments and applications of the methodology to adjust old matrices using link traffic counts. Commonly, the accuracy of an adjusted O-D matrix depends very much on the reliability of the input data such as the numbers and locations of traffic counting points in the road network. In the real application of the methodology, decisions on the numbers and locations of traffic counting points are one of the difficult problems, because usually as networks become bigger, the numbers of traffic counting points are required more. Therefore, this paper investigates these issues as an experiment using a nationwide network in Korea. We have compared and contrasted the set of link flows assigned by the old and the adjusted O-D matrices with the set of observed link flows. It has been analyzed by increasing the number of the traffic counting points on the experimental road network. As a result of these analyses, we can see an optimal set of the number of counting links through statistical analysis, which are approximately ten percentages of the total link numbers. In addition, the results show that the discrepancies between the old and the adjusted matrices in terms of the trip length frequency distributions and the assigned and the counted link flows are minimized using the optimal set of the counted links.

The Korea Transport Institute (KOTI) builds the origin and destination(O-D) trip data with relatively smaller zone size such as Eup, Myeon, Dong administration unit districts in metropolitan area. Otherwise, O-D trip data was built by bigger size of traffic analysis zone(TAZ) such as Si, Gun, Gu administration unit districts for rural area. In some cases, it is needed to divide a zone into several sub-zones for rural area in order to analyze travel distribution pattern in detail for a certain highway and rail project. The study suggested a method to estimate O-D trips for sub-zones in the larger-size zones in rural area. Two different distribution models, direct demand model and gravity model, were calibrated for sub-zone's intra-zonal O-D trip pattern with metropolitan area O-D data which has smaller zone-size (sub-zone) data categorized by low, middle and high population density. The calibration results were compared between the two models. The gravity model with impedance function of power functional form was selected with better explanation for all groups in the metropolitan area. The adjusted $R^2$ was 0.7426, 0.6456 and 0.7194 for low, middle and high population density group, respectively. The suggested O-D trip estimating method is expected to produce enhanced trip patterns with sub-divided small zones.

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.

Until now, though most of the studies related to demand estimation method using traffic counts use methods based on singleclass, travel demands or flows are made by mixing various vehicles in real networks. In general, existing demand estimation methods based on traffic counts estimate O/D by converting a multiclass O/D matrix and traffic counts into a singleclass O/D matrix and traffic counts through PCE conversion, and analyze a O/D matrix by dividing into a multiclass O/D matrix and traffic counts after multiplying an estimated O/D matrix by the fixed ratio of a singleclass O/D matrix and traffic counts before PCE conversion. However, the merits of a demand estimation method based on multiclass calculate each route choice ratio about multiclass O/D, and maximize the estimation capability of multiclass by calculating each gradient, the reduction direction of objective function. Therefore, this study aims to establish a demand estimation method which considers congestion between vehicle and vehicle by using multiclass instead of singleclass.

This research addresses the problem of estimating Origin-Destination (O-D) trip matrices from link volume counts, a set of unobserved link volumes and information of user equilibrium flows in transportation networks. A heuristic algorithm for estimating unobserved link flows is derived, which provides volume estimates that are approximately consistent with both observed flows and an assumption of user equilibrium conditions. These estimated link volumes improve the constraints associated with the synthetic OD estimation model, providing improved solution search procedure. Model performance is tracked in terms of the root mean square errors (RMSE) in predicted travel demands, and where appropriate, predicted linked volumes. These results indicate that the new model substantially outperforms existing approaches to estimating user-equilibrium based synthetic O-D matrices.

In the developing country, the transportation situation is changed very quickly and the transportation environment is not stable. So the transportation planning should be frequently made in considering the limited cost and time. And the traditional large-scale survey(household survey, roadside interview, etc.) has many Problem like the difficulty for doing it and getting mood results. Therefore the study about the method of evaluation on the traffic count based O/D matrix is Processing actively recently. Though the many study for the network in the realistic size are enacted, the study for comparing with the advantage and disadvantage of each method are few. Therefore this study mainly deals with the static method among the existing models of evaluation on the traffic count based O/D matrix(in terms of the transportation plan). Bi-level(GU) and gradient method are selected as main alternative model and analyzed their capability and validity. For testing the reliability of the models, Bi-level(GLS) and gradient method are adapted to toy network. Then we analyze the result of testing, and study the way for large network.
