Abstract: In an ideal world, transportation networks and services would be adapted to the specific travel needs of each individual and would perfectly fit the corresponding desire lines (direct lines between origin and destination points). However, in practice, networks cannot be designed to accommodate each individual trip. Still, it is possible to optimize transportation systems from a collective demand point of view. To move from an individual to a collective scale, individual demands need to be encapsulated into demand corridors.
