Origin-Destination Matrix

An Origin-Destination matrix is a tool used to represent the movement of people or vehicles between different locations within a network, such as a city. It shows how many trips start from each origin point and end at each destination point. For example, it can tell you how many people travel from their home (origin) to work (destination), or how many cars go from neighborhood A to downtown. This matrix helps planners understand travel patterns, optimize transportation systems, and improve infrastructure by providing detailed insights into movement flows within a region.
