Abstract

Origin and destination are fundamental concepts in the field of transport and logistics. Origin refers to the starting point of a journey or the place where goods are first manufactured or assembled, while destination is the end of the journey or the place where the goods are manufactured or assembled. Goods are delivered or consumed. The origin and destination of a person or object can be physical, temporal, or conceptual. The origin and destination of a journey or expedition can also have significant economic, social and environmental impacts. The main reason for this study is to collect data and then use it to decide on the overall planning of the city, including roads and transportation systems, and to know which areas of the city have the most trips such as where its origin and destination. What was found through the research was the number of trips, duration of the trip, purpose, most crowded time and number of passengers. On the other hand, results were found show the number of trips from a specific area to another area as a percentage, meaning that at least an approximate number of trips were made, which gives an indication for engineers and authorities to decide how to amend the overall plan of the city. Furthermore, regarding the results found when recording and calculating them, they are quite satisfactory and can be presented as a percentage of the movement after finding them.
