Abstract:The advancement and availability of automatic data collection systems (ADCs) have led public transport data collection methods to a new age. The ADC systems, such as automatic passenger counting (APC), automatic fare collection (AFC), and others, can generate an abundant amount of passenger data. This data can then be translated into the origin-destination passenger (OD) matrices, a key concept of public transport planning problems. In this research, two single-route OD modelling approaches, using boarding and alighting counts, are selected and numerically compared using the provided case study of TPG (Transports Publics Genevois) Geneva, Switzerland. The selected methods are the Iterative Proportional Fitting (IPF) and Gravity Model (GM). Four cases of four different lines of interest were modelled to obtain an inventory of estimated single-route passenger origin-destination matrices. The inventory of the two modelling approachesis then compared to determine the model choice recommendation for the TPG case study. The modelled single-route passenger OD matrices can be used directly as input for full-network passenger OD matrix modelling or in other public transport planning applications. It is recommended that TPG use the Iterative Proportional Fitting model for future research as it provides a closer replication of the specific TPG public transport network.
