Fundamental properties of Synthetic O-D Generation Formulations and Solutions
Origin-Destination (O-D) matrices are required in order to model traffic routing behavior in networks. Direct techniques for collecting O-D information from home and roadside interviews have historically been utilized to estimate O-D tables. However, these techniques are not only very costly, labor …

A Method to Enhance the Performance of Synthetic Origin-Destination (O-D) Trip Table Estimation Models
The conventional methods of determining the Origin-Destination (O-D) trip tables involve elaborate surveys, such as home interviews, requiring considerable time, manpower and funds. To overcome this drawback, a number of theoretical models that synthesize O-D trip tables from link volume data have …

A linear programming approach for synthesizing origin-destination (O-D) trip tables from link traffic volumes
This research effort is motivated by the need to quickly obtain origin-destination (0-0) trip information for an urban area, without expending the excessive time and effort usually accompanying survey-based methods. The intent is to utilize this information to facilitate diversion of traffic in …

A Linear Programming Method for Synthesizing Origin-Destination (O-D) Trip Tables from Traffic Counts for Inconsistent Systems
Origin-Destination (O-D) trip tables represent the demand-supply information of each directed zonal-pair in a given region during a given period of time. The effort of this research is to develop a linear programming methodology for estimating O-D trip tables based on observed link volumes. In …

E M B O D I M E N T : mental and physical geographies of the neo-nomad
Globalization is today significantly debated. The ineluctable phenomenon has led to homogenization, hybridization, cultural confusion, and social disorders. The resulting chaos has been translated by a loss of landmarks, which has consequently engendered mental and physical displacements. New …

A linear programming approach for synthesizing origin-destination (O-D) trip tables based on a partial set of link traffic volumes
This research effort is motivated by the need to quickly obtain origin-destination (O-D) trip information for an urban area, without expending the excessive time and effort usually accompanying survey-based methods. The proposed approach aims to exploit the information contained even in a "partial …

Observability of Origin-Destination matrices for Dynamic Traffic Assignment
The estimation of dynamic Origin-Destination (O-D) matrices from aggregated sensor counts is one of the most important and well-researched problems in Dynamic Traffic Assignment (DTA) systems. In practice, more often than not, number of sensors are far less than the number of potential O-D pairs, …

Calibration of the demand simulator in a dynamic traffic assignment system
In this thesis, we present a methodology to jointly calibrate the O-D estimation and prediction and driver route choice models within a Dynamic Traffic Assignment (DTA) system using several days of traffic sensor data. The methodology for the calibration of the O-D estimation module is based on an …

Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis for Origin and Destination Flow Data
The focus of this dissertation lies in the research tradition of ESDA, which requires explicitly the existence of geographical attributes in the datasets, interactive visualization tools and dynamic graphics. In this study, I propose a new set of techniques for exploring O-D flow data and integrate …

RF phase modulation of optical signals and optical/electrical signal processing
Analog RF phase modulation of optical signals has been a topic of interest for many years, mainly focusing on Intensity Modulation Direct Detection (IMDD). The virtues of coherent detection combined with the advantages of Frequency Modulation, however, have not been explored thoroughly. By …

Estimating the true extent of air traffic delays
Most air traffic delay measures assess delays relative to schedule. Over the past decades, however, airline schedules have been adjusted to take into account airspace congestion and yield better on-time performance. In that context, delay measures that are using scheduled times as a benchmark are …

Dynamic estimation of origin-destination trip-tables from real-time traffic volumes using parameter optimization methods
The motivation behind this research is the need for a real-time implementable, yet accurate, procedure for estimating an origin-destination (O-D) trip-table based on entering and exiting traffic volume data for a given freeway section. These tables help in on-line control of traffic facilities, and …
