It is quite often in practice that observation information of traffic flows
is incomplete due to failures of facilities or insufficient installment of
sensors. In this paper, we investigate problems of dynamic identification
of origin-destination matrices when traffic counts are unavailable in some
entrances and/or exits of a traffic system. To deal with non-linearity and
inestimability problems in conventional research frameworks., identificatio
n problems with incomplete information are reformulated as optimization pro
blems with linear equality constraints and non-negative inequality constrai
nts. An algorithm is then suggested for identification of origin-destinatio
n matrices with incomplete observation information. Finally, numerical exam
ples are provided to illustrate the proposed algorithm for some incomplete
information patterns. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
