    This document provides examples and explanations for converting production-attraction (P-A) matrices into origin-destination (O-D) matrices for home-based and non-home-based trips over a 24-hour period. It includes a sample P-A matrix, shows how to transpose and apply formulas to calculate O-D flows, and provides hourly percentages of home-based work trips departing and returning home to demonstrate how to estimate O-D flows by time of day. The document emphasizes that TransCAD software allows simultaneous calculation of multiple matrices and combination of trip types across hours, providing advantages over manual calculations.

    24 Hour Home Based conversion of PA to OD


    For Home based trips over a 24 hour period, half of the
    home based trips have origins from the zone and half had
    destinations to the zone. If you always had more people coming in (destination),
    than are leaving (trip origin), the area would become overwhelmed.

    Consider interchange between zones 1 and 2, We assume one-half of the 1 to 2 trips


    had their origin at Zone 1, and one- half of the 2 to 1 trips had origin at zone 1.
    That means the other half in each case must have had the origin in Zone 2

    If we apply this strategy to all P-A interchanges, the sum of the rows would be the
    origins and the sum of the columns would be the expected destinations for the zones.

    Transposed matrix application to solve the problem


    A convenient computational strategy to compute the origin - destination flows is:
    OD ij = 0.5* PAij + 0.5 * PAij'
    Where PA = PA matrix
    PA' = transposed PA matrix

    PA' or PA transposed is shown below.

    Zones 1 2 3
    1 300 250 80
    2 150 400 200
    3 200 200 100

    Calculated OD s are then found by multiplying corresponding cells by 0.5 and summing.

    OD matrix

    1 300 200 140 640
    2 200 400 200 800
    3 140 200 100 440
    Destination 640 800 440

    Notice that this becomes a symmetrical matrix

    24 Hour Origin Destination Matrix for Non Hased trips


    P and A for non-home based trips are already O's and D's

    Origin - Destination - by hour of the day.


    When hour of the day O-Ds are desired, the analyst must examine the percent
    of trips that are expected to leave from home or return to home in each of the hours.
    For the entire day 50% are leaving (origin) and 50% are arriving (destination), but dependent
    on the trip purpose, the percentages vary by hour of the day. If we know the percent of trips leaving
    home at 7:00am to go to work and the % arriving from work at 7:00 am, as well as the total P-A,
    for the trip type you are well on the way to solving the problem.

    To give you an idea, TransCad default values are shown here for the WORK trip.
    NCHRP Report 365 has a different set of values.

    HBWD = home based work trip departing time (origin end)

    As we include more trip types and hours of the day, it becomes apparent that
    the TransCAD ability to simultaneously calculate several matrices
    and combine several trip types for more hours of the day becomes a great advantage..
