Passenger flow route assignment algorithm for urban rail transit network based on logit model

The major factors affecting the passenger flow assignment in the urban rail transit network are analyzed and a generalized fare function is built in this paper. A logit-based model is built to simulate passenger flow route assignment after a whole rail network station-to-station OD matrix is estimated from IC card data. A case study is conducted based on the real survey data. The result demonstrates that the model and algorithm to solve the problem of passenger volume estimation are practicable.
