In a case study for the City of Basel, we have demonstrated that this model can be successfully applied even with minimal input data. Starting with only an AM peak-hour matrix, we were able to define the three basic states AM, PM and OP by simple ``ad-hoc'' assumptions and use them to build up a model which predicts the hourly flows for the entire day with a very high level of precision.
