PURPOSES : This study verifies the appropriateness of the observed traffic volume using car navigation traffic volume data. METHODS : In this study, we developed an annual average daily traffic (AADT) estimation model that can verify the total amount of traffic by using navigation traffic volume data. In addition, a method to verify the appropriateness of the observed traffic volume was developed using time-based navigation traffic volume data that can check the characteristics of traffic volume at each point. RESULTS : As a result of the analysis of this study, it was found that 674 of the 697 short-duration survey spots of the freeways were appropriate and that 23 spots needed to be revised. CONCLUSIONS : As a result of the analysis of this study, it was found that there was a strong positive correlation between the observed traffic volume and the car navigation traffic volume. Thus, the appropriateness of the observed traffic was determined by verifying the total amount of observed traffic and the observed traffic volume by time.
