Abstract：

It＇s　well　known　that　collecting　traffic　information　by　cell　phone　CEL-ID　location　technique-firstly　get　subscribers　＇travel　routine　by　analyzing　and　retrieving　CELL-ID　number　uploaded　by　cell　phone　customers,　then　other　necessary　information　(e.g.　Origin-Destination　Flow,　the　number　of　Residents　and　Jobs)　gained　after　father　technical　processing.　However,　since　all　of　these　indicators　are　based　on　traffic　analysis　zone　(TAZ)　unit　and　restricted　by　the　accuracy　of　CELL-ID　location　method　and　communication　theory,　the　size　of　the　traffic　analysis　zone　has　significant　impact　on　the　accuracy　of　indictors.　For　example,　the　relative　error　of　the　indicator　will　increase　if　the　traffic　analysis　zone　is　divided　too　small.　But　if　traffic　analysis　zone　is　divided　too　big,　the　trip　distribution　characteristic　won＇t　be　presented　clear.　That＇s　why　this　dissertation　is　to　contribute　a　reasonable　methodology　of　solving　traffic　analysis　zone　size　based　on　CELL-ID　location　technique.　©　2011　ASCE.
