Abstract
The paper deals with two different heuristic approaches for solving the problem of optimal location of traffic count sections (OLTCS), which is a crucial issue of the design of area wide ITS traffic monitoring centers. The first method applies deterministic rules on O/D flows and O/D pairs coverage. The second is based on a genetic algorithm (GA). Both are applied on a real size extra-urban road network and compared to a state-of-the art rule widely used in practical applications
