Graphical presentation of Origin-Destination matrix in R statistical environment

Origin-Destination Matrix (ODM) represents the status of the multi-discipline socio-economic (including transport) activity in the observed spatial area (city, region, country) and is therefore used in support of the strategic planning and decision-making on the wider scale. The interpretation of the ODM can be a daunting task, since the traditional representations of may hide the necessary evidence. Here we propose a novel approach in graphical presentation of an ODM, that allow for friendlier interface to the user, and thus improve the usability of the ODM in strategic planning process. The proposed graphical presentation approach is validated through practical deployment in statistical and software development R environment.
