The St. Petersburg transport system simulation before opening new subway stations

In the present study we conduct analysis of methods and models of origin destination matrices reconstruction with regard to urban transport processes, we point out their advantages and disadvantages. As a result of the analysis the relational method of OD matrices reconstruction is chosen and the trilinear model (EVA) is considered as the most applicable for OD matrices reconstruction. To show the efficiency of the model we take as an example estimation of traffic flows changes in the St Petersburg caused by opening of new subway stations “Obvodny Kanal”, “Admiralteyskaya”, “Bukharestskaya” and “Mezhdunarodnaya” and analyse the results of transport simulation.
