To cope with origin-destination (OD) matrix estimation, numerous approaches have been developed. However, very few techniques have ever been proposed for estimating OD matrix for Urban Rail Transit (URT). The paper discusses the problem of how to estimate URT OD matrix based on OD survey data, such as origin station, boarding time, transfer station and destination station. One major concern is how to calculate the time of transfer and alighting through the train schedule; the other is how to estimate the OD matrix based on the Fratar model. Case study is conducted to test the proposed approach using the actual survey data in one city. The results demonstrate that using the Fratar model to solve the problem of OD matrix estimation is practicable, and the credibility reaches above 95%.
