With the development of modern techniques of remote sensing, more and more advanced methods are used to measure traffic and determine OD flows. However, they may produce results with different levels of errors caused by various factors. The article examines the impact of traffic volume and its variability on the error values of short-term prediction of the OD matrix in the urban network. The OD flows were determined using a deep learning network based on data obtained from video remote sensing devices. These data were recorded at earlier intervals concerning the forecasting time. The extent to which there is a correlation between the size of OD flows and the prediction error was examined. The most frequently used measure of prediction accuracy, i.e., MAPE (mean absolute percentage error), was considered. The analysis carried out made it possible to determine the ranges of traffic flow rate for which the MAPE stabilizes at the level of approximately 6%. A set of video remote sensing devices was used to collect spatiotemporal data. They were located at the entrances and exits from the study area on important roads of a medium-sized city in Poland. The conclusions obtained may be helpful in further research on improving methods to determine OD matrices and estimate their reliability. This, in turn, involves the development of more precise methods that allow for reliable traffic forecasting and improve the efficiency of traffic management in urban areas.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs16071202","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,29]],"date-time":"2024-03-29T06:33:16Z","timestamp":1711693996000},"page":"1202","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Impact of Traffic Flow Rate on the Accuracy of Short-Term Prediction of Origin-Destination Matrix in Urban Transportation Networks"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8087-3113","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Renata","family":"\u017bochowska","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Transport and Aviation Engineering, Silesian University of Technology, Krasi\u0144skiego 8 Street, 40-019 Katowice, Poland"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0188-2848","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Teresa","family":"Pamu\u0142a","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Transport and Aviation Engineering, Silesian University of Technology, Krasi\u0144skiego 8 Street, 40-019 Katowice, Poland"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Riaz, W., Gao, C., Azeem, A., Bux, J.A., and Ullah, A.
