  <abstract>Traffic forecast is now very impormant because recent traffic  increase has much influence on social problems. One of the typical  forecast methods is the Box-Jenkins method. But,in developing countries  it sometimes happens that the data size is insufficient for analysis.  This is the result of testing the appropriacy of the Box-Jenkins method  for traffic volume with small-scale data . This research establishs two  kinds of method to forecast traffic volume throughout Thailand.  One method uses the Box-Jenkins method directly to forecast the data  in time series. The other method is a combination of the Box-Jenkins  Method and a cross-sectional model. The investigation carried out through  a comparison between these two methods to determine which method is more  precise.  The study reveals that the Box-Jenkins method is not applicable for  the forecasting of small-scale traffic volume .  More accurate and more detailed data collection and model improvement  to decrease the forecast errors are recommended.</abstract>
