An Alternative to O-D Matrix Estimation for Urban Goods Transport Demand Generation
This paper presents an alternative method to origin-destination (O-D) matrix for estimating road occupancy of urban goods movement (UGM). The originality of the model arises on three main elements. The first is that the modelling unit is the number of movements, i.e. the number of pickup and delivery operations. The second is that it follows a bottom-up approach, starting from a rich database, to define different behavioural functions. The third is that the road occupancy for deliveries or distances travelled can therefore be calculated for any city possessing a sufficiently well-informed register of businesses. First, the literature in the field is reviewed and the paper positioned. Then, the main methodological elements are presented. Finally, several validation results that show the pertinence of the hypotheses behind the proposed model are presented and discussed.
