Abstract

This paper describes how transit smart card data can be used to construct a Spatial Interaction Model (SIM). A SIM can be used to analyze the influence of both spatial characteristics and the transit network on the travel flow patterns in the transit system. This can reveal valuable insights for integrated spatial and transit planning. We demonstrate the development of a basic doubly constrained SIM, using actual transit flows (derived from smart card data) of the local and regional bus transit system of the Arnhem Nijmegen region in the Netherlands. Methods to improve and extend the model are described.
