Traffic sensors serve an important function in obtaining traffic information. In this paper, a novel traffic sensor location approach is proposed to determine the maximum number of traffic flows by considering the time‐spatial correlation. The problem is formulated as three 0–1 programming models to maximise the number of obtained flows under different cases. To solve these novel sensor location problems, an ant colony optimisation algorithm with a local search procedure is designed. Numerical experiments are conducted in both a simulated network and in the Sioux–Falls network. Results demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed algorithm, which is believed to possess potential applicability in real surveillance network design.
