Origin-Destination Surveys

Origin-Destination (O-D) Surveys are studies that analyze the movement of people or vehicles between different locations within a region. They gather data on where trips start (origins) and end (destinations), often through questionnaires or automated tracking methods. This information helps urban planners and transportation authorities understand travel patterns, peak times, and areas with high traffic. With this insight, they can develop better transportation systems, improve infrastructure, and reduce congestion, making travel safer and more efficient for everyone.
