Presenting a Statistical Approach for Transforming Standardized German Traffic Surveys into Origin-Destination Matrices.

This paper presents a method for generating Origin-Destination Matrices (ODMs) for the city of Munich using traffic count data from a Germany-wide study conducted by the German Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (MiD-Study). The results show that the data provided by the MiD-Study was correctly translated into an ODM, thereby providing an interpretable demand format for traffic simulations. Due to the consistent design of the MiD-Study, the approach is also applied to Hamburg and is extensible to 18 further cities and one city-state (Bremen) covered in the MiD-Study. The produced ODMs for Munich and Hamburg are accessible for researchers at: https://nextcloud.in.tum.de/index.php/s/gT48xDzT88YJGQK
