Conditions for origin areas and destination areas

Areas, which you select as an origin or a destination for an origin-destination matrix, must meet the following conditions.

Conditions for origin areas in the origin-destination matrix

An area is shown as a row in the origin-destination matrix, if the Always use as origin area attribute is selected or if the area contains a pedestrian input for any time interval. The area contains no more than one pedestrian decision. There is no route from this pedestrian routing decision to a stairway/ramp. If the area contains more than one pedestrian routing decision, the Always use as origin area attribute has no effect.

Conditions for destination areas in the origin-destination matrix

An area is shown as a column in the origin-destination matrix, if it fulfills at least one of the conditions:

• For the area, the Always use as a destination area attribute is selected.
• At least one pedestrian route ends in an area in which an origin area begins.

Notes regarding further network objects

The pedestrian OD matrix only takes into account areas as origins and destinations of pedestrian flows, because pedestrian inputs and routing decisions can only be included in areas.

• Pedestrian routing decisions (partial) and destinations of partial routes in areas are not relevant to the pedestrian OD matrix.
• Stairways, ramps, moving walkways and escalators cannot be the destination of a route in the pedestrian OD matrix, even though the destination of a static pedestrian route can be defined for them.
