Abstract:
We have analyzed the methods and models how to construct correspondence matrix for urban transport processes. We have also identified the advantages and disadvantages of the models. Having analyzed these models, we chose the relational method of the construction of correspondence matrix. The EVA model of the construction of correspondence matrix was recognized as the most suitable. The article demonstrates how the distribution of traffic flows in St. Petersburg is changed due to the fact that new metro stations such as “Obvodny Kanal”, “Admiralteyskaya”, “Bukharestskaya” and “Mezhdunarodnaya” have been put into operation. We have also outlined technical prospects of the models of the construction of correspondence matrix.
Keywords:correspondence matrices, transport modeling, single factor growth method, aversge growth rate, Detroit method, Fratara method, gravity model, entropy model, competing centers model, EVA model.
