The traffic density map (TDM) represents the density of road network traffic as the number of vehicles per a specific time interval. TDMs are used by traffic experts as a base documentation for planning a new infrastructure (long-term) or by drivers for showing a current traffic status (short-term). We propose two methods for estimation of missing density values in TDMs. In the first method, the problem is formulated relatively strictly in terms of quadratic programming (QP) and a QP solver is utilized to find a solution. The second, more general method is based on a multiobjective genetic algorithm which allows us to find a reasonable compromise among several objectives that a traffic expert may formulate. These two methods can work automatically or they can be used by a traffic expert for an iterative density estimation. Results of experimental evaluation based on real and randomly generated data are presented.
