摘要

We present a methodology for calibrating doubly constrained gravity models. Three types of deterrence functions are examined: exponential, power, and combined. The latter includes two calibration parameters, whereas the others contain only one. The parameters are identified so that the model reproduces the observed trip length distribution with high accuracy. We test four optimization methods: Nelder–Mead method, genetic algorithm, particle swarm optimization, and covariance matrix adaptation evolution strategy and analyze three forms of the objective function. The proposed methodology is applied to data from the city of Ekaterinburg. As a result, we provide recommendations regarding the form of the deterrence function, optimization method, and objective function. Bibliography: 17 titles. Illustrations: 5 figures.
