Abstract
 Traffic volume and travel speed road traffic data are extremely important not only for survey and research purposes, but also for administrative management. In order to more effectively understand road traffic conditions and explain the need for and effectiveness of road projects, we need to collect detailed road traffic data. There are fewer traffic data for general roads than for highways and collecting traffic data is a particular problem.We have developed a set of algorithms to take full advantage of the vehicle detectors placed on general roads to calculate highway traffic volume data, and put these algorithms into practice. One feature of the algorithm that was developed is its ability to calculate the daily highway traffic data with sufficient accu-racy for practical application based on a simple algorithm. This makes it possible to collect more detailed general road traffic volume data.
