Estimating Origin-Destination Trip Matrices by Mode Choice for Ulaanbaatar (PART 1)

Abstract

The paper describes an assessment of travel demand modeling of Ulaanbaatar urban mobility. The Origin-Destination (OD) trip matrices by mode choice are generated utilizing travel demand model with the PTV Visum simulation environment. Ulaanbaatar's travel demand is concentrated in the central part of the city, where workplaces, trade and services, government institutions, universities, and high-quality secondary schools are located, resulting in terrible traffic congestion and environmental pollution. A GIS mapping has been used to show a summary of the proposed model and travel flow.
