1. A method for dynamic zoning, comprising:

  • receiving travel demand data for a set of geographically-spaced points that are interconnected by routes of a transportation network, the travel demand data comprising, for each of the points, values representing travel demand to each of the other points in the set;

    for each pair of the points, computing a destination-distance function based on the travel demand data of the points in the pair, to provide a respective destination-distance value;

    for each pair of the points, generating a geo-distance value based on locations of the points in the pair;

    forming an aggregated affinity matrix by aggregating the computed geo-distance values and destination-distance values;

    based on the aggregated affinity matrix, clustering points in the set among a set of clusters; and

    generating a representation of the clusters in which each of a set of zones encompasses the points assigned to a respective cluster.
