Quality Measures of Origin-Destination Trip Table Estimated from Traffic Counts: Review and New Generalized Demand Scale Measure

AbstractThe goals of this paper are to (1) provide a review of the recently developed measures for assessing the quality of origin-destination (O-D) trip tables estimated from traffic counts and (2) propose a new generalized demand scale (GDS) measure. This GDS quality measure generalizes the total demand scale (TDS) quality measure by allowing the assessment of the intrinsic underdeterminant problem of O-D estimation from traffic counts at various spatial levels. Numerical examples are provided to compare the proposed GDS measure with the TDS measure, the maximal possible relative error, and the expected relative error and to illustrate the features of the GDS measure.
