Development of Origin-Destination Matrices Using Mobile Phone Call Data: A Simulation Based Approach

In this research, the authors propose a methodology to develop origin destination (OD) matrices using mobile phone Call Detail Records (CDR), which consist of time stamped tower locations with caller IDs, and limited traffic counts. CDR from 2.87 million users from Dhaka, Bangladesh over a month and traffic counts from 13 key locations of the city over 3 days of the same period are used in this regard. The individual movement patterns within certain time windows are extracted first from CDR to generate tower-to-tower transient OD matrices. These are then associated with corresponding nodes of the traffic network and used as seed-OD matrices in a microscopic traffic simulator. An optimization based approach, which aims to minimize the differences between observed and simulated traffic counts at selected locations, is deployed to determine scaling factors and the actual OD matrix is derived. The applicability of the methodology is supported by a validation study.
