Abstract

The time-dependent origin-destination (TDOD) demand estimation problem aims at estimating dynamic demand that represents the observed traffic flow patterns in a transportation network. Errors in TDOD demand are often propagated into the network outputs causing unreliable planning and operational policies. In this study, a bi-level optimization problem is proposed where the upper level is an Ordinary Least-Squared (OLS) error minimization problem that minimizes the deviation between the estimated and observed traffic volumes from SCATS, while the lower level generates assignment proportions matrix using a mesoscopic simulation-based dynamic user equilibrium model. The interior point conjugate..
