Origin-Destination Flows
Standard betweenness treats every origin-destination pair as equally important. Origin-destination flow analysis weights the movement instead, so streets carrying more actual travel receive higher scores. The Origin-Destination Flows guide explains the challenge and the two methods cityseer provides: routing an explicit OD matrix, or modelling demand from weighted origins and destinations with a singly-constrained spatial interaction model.
| Notebook | Description |
|---|---|
| demand_flows | Modelled demand flows: a singly-constrained spatial interaction model from population origins to hospitality destinations, with a distance-decay deterrence function. |
| explicit_od | Routing an explicit origin-destination matrix with build_od_matrix and betweenness_od, and how two different demand patterns reshape the flows on the same network. |
| flows_vs_betweenness | Comparing demand-weighted flow against the uniform betweenness baseline on the same network. |
