Abstract

Estimating O-D tables for trucks is of substantial interest due to different emission characteristics, pavement damage, etc of trucks. This thesis proposes a bilevel optimization model and corresponding solution method for static multi-class O-D estimation using various types of data. Limited memory BFGS method with bounded constraints is used for solving the upper level optimization, which is used to derive O-D table entries by minimizing the sum of squared differences between observations from different data sources and the predictions of those values. A probit model is assumed in the lower-level stochastic user equilibrium problem for flow prediction. Extensive experiments have been performed on a test network with different types of link count sensors and turning movements. The tests verify the problem formulation and solution algorithm, and offer important insights into the multiclass O-D estimation process with different types of data available.
