Revelation of Preferences in Trip Distribution Models
Kurt Jörnsten ()
, Inge Thorsen ()
and Jan Ubøe ()
Abstract: In this paper we will see how commuter preferences can be
revealed from observations of trip distributions. We will explain how to
find unique representations of preference structures leading to an observed
trip distribution, and will also present a numerical method that can be
used to infer preferences from systems of considerable size. The theory is
applied to a real world network, and we show how our framework can be used
to reveal detailed information about the spatial structure of this network.
We also use this new framework to suggest a new approach to evaluate the
impact of road pricing.
