Traffic volume is an important parameter in most transportation planning applications.Low volume roads make up about 69%of road miles in the United States.Estimating traffic on the low volume roads is a cost-effective alternative to taking traffic counts.This is because traditional traffic counts are expensive and impractical for low priority roads.The purpose of this paper is to present the development of two alternative means of costeffectively estimating traffic volumes for low volume roads in Wyoming and to make recommendations for their implementation.The study methodology involves reviewing existing studies,identifying data sources,and carrying out the model development.The utility of the models developed were then verified by comparing actual traffic volumes to those predicted by the model.The study resulted in two regression models that are inexpensive and easy to implement.The first regression model was a linear regression model that utilized pavement type,access to highways,predominant land use types,and population to estimate traffic volume.In verifying the model,an R~2 value of 0.64 and a root mean square error of 73.4%were obtained.The second model was a logistic regression model that identified the level of traffic on roads using five thresholds or levels.The logistic regression model was verified by estimating traffic volume thresholds and determining the percentage of roads that were accurately classified as belonging to the given thresholds.For the five thresholds,the percentage of roads classified correctly ranged from 79%to 88%.In conclusion,the verification of the models indicated both model types to be useful for accurate and cost-effective estimation of traffic volumes for low volume Wyoming roads.The models developed were recommended for use in traffic volume estimations for low volume roads in pavement management and environmental impact assessment studies.

The utility of the models developed were then verified by comparing actual traffic volumes to those predicted by the model. The study resulted in two regression models that are inexpensive and easy to implement.The first regression model was a linear regression model that keeps pavement type, access to highways, p redominant land use types, and population to estimate traffic volume. In verifying the model, an R ~ 2 value of 0.64 and a root mean square error of 73.4% were obtained. The second model was a logistic regression model that identified the level of traffic on roads using five thresholds or levels. The logistic regression model was verified by estimating traffic volume thresholds and determining the percentage of roads that were accurately classified as belonging to the given thresholds.For the five thresholds, the percentage of roads classified correctly ranged from 79 % to 88% .In conclusion, the verification of the models indicated both model types to be useful for accurate and cost-effective estimation of traffic volumes for low volume Wyoming roads. The models developed were recommended for use in traffic volume estimations for low volume roads in pavement management and environmental impact assessment studies.
