Abstract
In order to optimize signal control parameters and to reexamine traffic regulations on a particular aspect of the subject area, origin destination table must be estimated in detail. We present a simplified O-D estimation model from measurement of traffic flows on the links in road network by using Absorbing Markov Chain combined with Genetic Algorithm. We analyze the convergence of this model. And the model suggested here is applied to the practical network in the vicinity of Tokyo Station in order to reveal the properties of the modified model and to investigate the validity of this model.
