Abstract
Estimating the number of people who travel by a particular route (route traffic) is an important task for multi-agent simulations in the transportation field. Previous studies have used the traffic count to estimate the route traffic. We propose a new method that utilizes the staying population (stay count) in addition to the traffic count. With experiments using synthetic data, we demonstrate that the proposed method achieves a \(19.85 \%\) smaller error rate than the conventional method when the traffic count’s observation is incomplete. In addition, we analyze real-world data.
