Study on OD Backstepping Method of Public Transport Based on TransCAD

Year: 2009

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: It is necessary to obtain an OD matrix similar with the actual road networks in order to plan bus networks and operate buses more precisely. Based on TransCAD software, this paper studied a method of making use of data recorded in bus IC card. It begins with an OD matrix as seed, then selects a rational path OD matrix with backstepping method, iterates some times between traffic distribution and matrix estimation, repeats "traffic assignment" and "OD backstepping" process, and finally obtains an accurate OD matrix. The method has been proved to be more practical and operable.
