Sensitivity Analysis of an Evolutionary-Based Time-Dependent Origin/Destination Estimation Framework

This paper presents sensitivity analysis results for a distributed evolutionary implementation of the estimation of time-dependent origin–destination (TDOD) matrices. The system uses a noniterative origin–destination (OD) estimation process, which attempts to minimize the discrepancy between observed link flow counts and assigned counts. At the same time, the system anchors the search process to the vicinity of an a priori OD matrix to maintain …
