The vehicle kilometers traveled (VKT) is an important factor need to be considered in urban freight transport or logistics planning. At present, some quantitative models have been constructed to estimate the VKT, and study also indicates that the time window of vehicle working hours have great effects on the length of urban distribution trips. But there is no VKT estimate models include the window time factor until now. So we introduced a two dimensional orders density: time dimension and space dimension. Then the density is substituted into the Figliozzi’s model, and after a series mathematic derivation, we get a new VKT estimate model considered the window time of vehicle, which is closer to reality station.
