Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method in which a processing system obtains first cellular traffic data associated with an existing cell site of a communication network, first transportation data associated with a first geographic region including the existing cell site, and first household data regarding households located in the first geographic region; the first household data comprises cellular plan data, broadband plan data, demographic data and/or economic data. The processing system constructs a predictive model for cellular traffic applicable to a candidate cell site in a second geographic region, using the cellular traffic data and the first transportation data and/or the first household data. The processing system predicts second cellular traffic at the candidate cell site, using as inputs to the model second transportation data and second household data associated with the candidate cell site. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: A method may include determining a number of vehicles depicted in one or more images of at least a portion of a transportation network. The method may include determining, from the one or more images, respective lengths of segments in the transportation network corresponding to individual vehicles of the vehicles depicted in the one or more images. The method may also include determining an observed traffic density and an observed network flow corresponding to the transportation network based on the number of vehicles and the respective lengths of segments. The method may include determining a traffic density estimation and a network flow estimation, using a traffic simulator. The method may additionally include adjusting the traffic simulator based on the observed traffic density, the traffic density estimation, the observed network flow, and the network flow estimation.
