Abstract:
This paper has investigated critical issues associated with Optimal Detector Locations for OD matrix estimation, including a discussion of limitations embedded in existing models and heuristic algorithms. Grounded on the core methodology of existing literature (Yang, 1998), this paper has proposed a heuristic algorithm for identifying the optimal set of detector locations under a given budget constraint for effective OD matrix estimation. The algorithm tries to simultaneously optimize OD coverage, net OD flow intercepted and link-OD flow fraction. Our numerical experiment results have indicated that the proposed algorithm is quite promising for potential applications.
