Abstract:This working paper describes a group of techniques for disaggregating origin-destination tables
for truck forecasting that makes explicit use of observed traffic on a network. Six models within
the group are presented, each of which uses nonlinear least-squares estimation to obtain row and
column factors for splitting trip totals from and to larger geographical areas into smaller ones.
The techniques are philosophically similar to Fratar factoring, although the solution method is
quite different. The techniques are tested on a full-sized network for Northfield, MN and are
found to found to work effectively.
