Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

9. Origin-destination estimation

9. Origin-destination estimation

This lecture is about building origin-destination (OD) matrices and OD matrix estimation. After placing this topic within the general framework of this course, it is explained how to determine choice functions. The explanation is concluded with an example. Thereafter, trip generation and trip distribution functions are discussed. The mathematical background of the latter is elaborated and an example using Poisson distribution is given. As an alternative to the Poisson model, Hyman’s method is discussed and an example is given. The second part of the lecture is about the estimation of OD matrices. Finally, special topics are discussed.
