Estimation of the number of transactions and unique users crossing every ring in Tel Aviv
The objectives of this project were:
- Estimate the number of average annual daily trips/crossings per ring (considering a trip every ring crossing, an entry or an exit).
- Estimate the number of monthly unique users.
- Estimate Annual Revenues.
In order to achieve the proposed objectives, the following tasks were completed:
- Update the Tel Aviv network model and translate the coordinate system compatible with that of the mobile phone and counts data sets.
- Identify the locations where the three rings intersects with the network to enable a subsequent estimation of vehicles crossing them.
- Ingest the trip matrices for 2018 selecting the trips during the charging periods: 6:30 to 10:00 and 15:00 to 19:00.
- Convert the mobile phone data zoning system to the network model zoning system.
- Secure a data set of traffic counts from Netivei Ayalon selecting those relevant to the TACC with data for 2021.
- Assign the mobile phone matrices to the network separately during the AM and PM charging periods and use the traffic counts to adjust and convert them to vehicles.
- Extract the necessary information about vehicles crossing one, two and three rings in each charging period; this provides the transactions in each period.
- Apply the adjustments described above to estimate daily and monthly unique users.
