Estimation of accuracy of synthetic models of calculation of passenger correspondence on an example of small towns

Abstract

The paper deals with the question of how to evaluate the accuracy of the results of the formation of OD-matrix using gravity and entropy models on the example of small towns in the framework of interval concept of modeling the needs of urban population in transportation. The basis for such an assessment is the availability of an actual OD-matrix, which characterizes a particular billing period, and which is based on the results of passenger traffic surveys on public transport.
Key words: OD-matrix, small towns, estimation of accuracy, synthetic models, public transport, passenger traffic survey.
