As global environmental issues are pointed out, Japan's carbon dioxide emission remains to be one of the top in the world, and thus transformation to an environmentally friendly city is sought after in the field of transportation. For this purpose, appropriate estimation of environmental load due to traffic is crucial. However, the Person Trips survey data that has been used as the basic data of this estimation has not been fully grasped due to fiscal constraints and other factors. Meanwhile, utilization of the Population Flow data (the Mobile Spatial Dynamics) supplemented by the mobile telephone network is beginning to be considered, yet there are several concerns regarding its application such that transportation modes choice and trip purposes are being unknown. Based on this situation, this research examines the methodology to estimate traffic energy consumption as an indicator for the urban structural analysis through the usage of the Mobile Spatial Dynamics.
