Abstract:Based on the new information which was detected through Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) technology, this paper proposed a new approach for dynamic OD estimation by using the AVI information. Partial trajectory information, dynamic travel time information and detector measurability were introduced into this approach which refer to the particle filter. First the selection scope and the selection probability were reduced and collected by Bayesian Estimation. Then the absented trajectory of any vehicles was determined by Monte Carlo stochastic simulation and the initial corrected OD matrix was obtained by correcting the individual vehicles trajectory. At last, the initial OD matrix was corrected by the path-link flow function based on the AVI volume information. Finally, the paper analyzed the accuracy of dynamic OD estimation on different coverage of AVI and different accuracy of prior information based on the Shanghai North-South expressway simulation model, the result showed that the accuracy of OD estimation was high when the coverage was more than 60% and relative error of dynamic OD estimation was 28.87% in 50% coverage and 60% accuracy of prior information. It also showed that this approach could be used with low accuracy prior information which can better meet the field need that the current OD information is low precision in China.
