To estimate VKT on rural roads, an estimation method based on the fusion of satellite remote sensing images and traffic detection data was presented. The ratio of vehicle densities between different categories of highways was obtained with satellite remote sensing data. The speed of rural highways was estimated using the data from traffic detectors and the design speeds of highways. Taking the traffic volume of high-level highway obtained by the traffic detectors as the benchmark, the average traffic volume and VKT of rural highways were estimated according to the ratio of vehicle density and the ratio of vehicle speed of rural highways to those of high-level highways. We tested the method with data from random sampling areas. The results show that the traffic volume and VKT of rural roads in China are 187 vehicles/day and 8.35 × 108 vehicle·kilometers/day, respectively. The proposed method does not dependent on the image scale, so it is also applicable to unmanned aerial vehicle photography.
