GRID2DEMAND: A tool for generating zone-to-zone travel demand based on grid cells or TAZs and gravity model
Introduction
Grid2demand is an open-source quick demand generation tool based on the trip generation and trip distribution methods of the standard 4-step travel model for teaching transportation planning and applications. By taking advantage of OSM2GMNS tool to obtain route-able transportation network from OpenStreetMap, Grid2demand aims to further utilize Point of Interest (POI) data to construct trip demand matrix aligned with standard travel models.

Quick Start
Users can refer to the code template and test data set to have a quick start.
Installation
pip install grid2demand
If you meet installation issues, please refer to the user guide for solutions.
Simple Example
Generate Demand with node.csv and poi.csv
- Create zone from node.csv (the boundary of nodes), this will generate grid cells (num_x_blocks, num_y_blocks, or x length and y length in km for each grid cell)
- Generate demands for between zones (utilize nodes and pois)
from __future__ import absolute_import
import grid2demand as gd
if __name__ == "__main__":
# Specify input directory
input_dir = "your-data-folder"
# Initialize a GRID2DEMAND object
net = gd.GRID2DEMAND(input_dir=input_dir)
# load network: node and poi
net.load_network()
# Generate zone dictionary from node dictionary by specifying number of x blocks and y blocks
net.net2zone(num_x_blocks=10, num_y_blocks=10)
# net.net2zone(cell_width=10, cell_height=10, unit="km")
# Calculate demand by running gravity model
net.run_gravity_model()
# Save demand, zone, updated node, updated poi to csv
net.save_results_to_csv()
Generate Demand with node.csv, poi.csv and zone.csv (geometry filed in zone.csv)
from __future__ import absolute_import
import grid2demand as gd
if __name__ == "__main__":
# Specify input directory
input_dir = "your-data-folder"
# Initialize a GRID2DEMAND object
net = gd.GRID2DEMAND(input_dir=input_dir)
# load network: node and poi
net.load_network()
# Generate zone
net.taz2zone()
# Calculate demand by running gravity model
net.run_gravity_model()
# Save demand, zone, updated node, updated poi to csv
net.save_results_to_csv(overwrite_file=True)
Generate Demand with node.csv, poi.csv and zone.csv (x_coord, y_coord fields represent zone centroids)
from __future__ import absolute_import
import grid2demand as gd
if __name__ == "__main__":
# Specify input directory
input_dir = "your-data-folder"
# Initialize a GRID2DEMAND object
net = gd.GRID2DEMAND(input_dir=input_dir)
# load network: node and poi
net.load_network()
# Generate zone
net.taz2zone()
# Calculate demand by running gravity model
net.run_gravity_model()
# Save demand, zone, updated node, updated poi to csv
net.save_results_to_csv(overwrite_file=True)
Generate Demand with node.csv (if zone_id field exist, generated zone boundary cover zone_id that are not empty) and poi.csv
from __future__ import absolute_import
import grid2demand as gd
if __name__ == "__main__":
# Specify input directory
input_dir = "your-data-folder"
# make sure you have zone_id field in node.csv
# Initialize a GRID2DEMAND object
net = gd.GRID2DEMAND(input_dir=input_dir, use_zone_id=True)
# load network: node and poi
net.load_network()
# Generate zone dictionary from node dictionary by specifying number of x blocks and y blocks
net.net2zone(num_x_blocks=10, num_y_blocks=10)
# net.taz2zone()
# Calculate demand by running gravity model
net.run_gravity_model()
# Save demand, zone, updated node, updated poi to csv
net.save_results_to_csv(overwrite_file=True)
