Automatic passenger counters that perform continuous boarding and alighting counts for transit vehicles have become widely available. They provide valuable information on passenger travel patterns. The BUS-OD model, which uses the boarding counts to refine the information, is described. The BUS-OD model estimates boarding trip tables, giving the number of trips between all station pairs along a bus line. A technique is devised to use the information that is embedded in counts for individual vehicles, combined with other information in the table’s structure. The problem is formulated as a nonlinear optimization problem. The model was tested thoroughly and applied successfully to full-scale problems. It is now ready for use in operational applications. The model and its behavior are described.
