A STATISTICAL PROCEDURE FOR ESTIMATING A MEAN ORIGIN-DESTINATION MATRIX FROM A PARTIAL REGISTRATION PLATE SURVEY

This paper addresses the problem of matching partial registration plate data collected at a number of origins and destinations in a traffic system, the aim being to reconstruct the pattern of vehicle movements. The matching algorithm proposed here embraces two of the most appealing features of the methods used in most commercially available packages - the use of passage times to improve the accuracy of the matching process and the ability to handle data at any number of origins and destinations - but does so within a statistical framework.
