For a research project, it is necessary to determine the effect of car traffic on one route (light or heavy traffic). How we can measure The number of the cars are moving on a section of a route (type is no matter) ?
Are you looking for a way to estimate the (marginal) cost of wear and tear ? Maybe you could find some answers in https://www.transportportal.se/swopec/cts2015-5.pdf
Please reformulate your question if this doesn't correspond to your expectations.
No, I'm looking for a way to estimate how many cars (type is no matter) are moving a cross the defined path or defined section of a street, anyway, Thanks for your answering Dear Bart Jourquin
Please edit your question to make this clear to other members of the RG community.
If you need to have an idea of the traffic along a roas section or on a particular route, you'll probably have to use a traffic assignment model. For some countries / cities, statistics may also be available, based on collected cellular signals (used for instance in "live" GPS car systems.
If you do not have enough data from cellphones or a demand model you can count the traffic volume. This method is used to validate the models and you could count in the peak hours, all day, typical and atypical days.
Why make it so complicate? Use an automatic traffic recorder (ATR) (those road tubes) placed across the road for a week. Or how about just going out there with a clicker for a hour or two, and count passing vehicles.
There is another method to record a video and estimate through that. But you have to fix the time and spot for more than week.
Santiago Cardona , Thanks a lot.
We don't have any information such as you mentioned; So we should count all vehicles in a same time for each paths.

Thanks for your answering, but ATR is not available for us. we want to measure it in some streets in a city, and there is no devices such as you said.
