Origin Destination Survey
An Origin-Destination (OD) survey is a research method used in transportation planning and traffic engineering to collect data about the movements of people, vehicles, or goods between specific origins and destinations within a defined geographical area. The primary goal of an OD survey is to understand travel patterns, traffic flows, and transportation needs.
