Abstract

The goals of this paper are to (1) provide a review of the recently developed measures for assessing the quality of origindestination (O-D) trip tables estimated from traffic counts and (2) propose a new generalized demand scale (GDS) measure. This GDS quality measure generalizes the total demand scale (TDS) quality measure by allowing the assessment of the intrinsic underdeterminant problem of O-D estimation from traffic counts at various spatial levels. Numerical examples are provided to compare the proposed GDS measure with the TDS measure, the maximal possible relative error, and the expected relative error and to illustrate the features of the GDS measure.
