This work concerns the calibration of trip distribution models issued from Transportation Planning. The optimal estimators are the global minima of a non-convex function. A mathematical result establishes that the solution is the limit of a sequence of means of convenient random variables. A population-based global optimization involving this representation and random perturbations of a local descent method is applied. Experiments are performed on classical test functions. In the application to the models of trip distribution, 4 sets of data, including real data are used. The results show that the use of the representation of the solution leads to a significant improvement and increases the robustness.
Key words: Global Optimization / Parameter Estimation / Calibration / Spatial Interaction Models
