内容提要: Recently, complex transportation systems have been emerging into an active and urgent research area because they are important to our lives. Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) and Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) of transportation network are essential data for transportation planning, decision making, revenue allocation, air quality analysis, accident analysis, etc. However, how to estimate AADT and VMT in local traffic network, where no traffic monitor system and data are available, is a long-time existing problem due to lack of traffic monitor counts on local area roads.

We present a novel approach to the community area AADT and VMT estimation by developing circuit network model and simulation to solve this long-time existing difficult problem. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to propose circuit network model for the traffic network to estimate AADT and VMT in the literature. The circuit network model is developed based on traffic network, and has three sub-models combined by the least squares method. The method is well validated by experiments. The methodology may be extended to various traffic networks.
