1. Volume parameters are as follows (CERM Ch. 73):◦ Average daily traffic (ADT) is calculated from the 24-hour flows measured
over less than one year.
◦ Average annual daily traffic (AADT) is calculated from the 24-hour flows
measured over one year.
◦ The design hourly volume (DHV) is calculated for the design year.
◦ The K-factor is found by dividing DHV by AADT.
◦ D is the directional factor which is equal to the percentage of traffic in the
dominant direction.
◦ The directional design hour volume is equal to D(DHV) = DK(AADT).
◦ (v/c)i is the volume-to-capacity ratio for LOSi (level of service), where v =
actual flow rate (in vph/lane), and c = ideal capacity at LOSi (in vph/lane).

6:45 – 7:00 980
7:00 – 7:15 880

• Requires estimating the number of trips that will result from a particular population or
occupancy.
• Can be solved using simple math theories.
Determine the number of 2 axle cars and 4 axle trucks passing an ATR detector. The
record shows that there are 1020 axles detected and 25% of it where for 4 axle trucks.
Solution: Simple algebra theorylet x = number of 2 axle vehicle
y = number of 4 axle vehicle
Numbers of axles passing through the
detector
2x + 4y = 1020 eq. 1
25% of the vehicles were truck
y
X + Y= 0.25 eq. 2
y = 0.25 x + 0.25 yx = 3y Combine to eq. 1
2(3y)+ 4y = 1020, thus y = 102
For x
2x+ 4(102) = 1020, thus x = 306

• For convenience in measuring the vehicular flow, it is important to designate a
standard.
• Since passenger cars make up the majority of highway traffic, so it is natural to
use passenger cars as the unit.
For vehicles other than passenger cars, standard E – value is set by
HCM(Highway Capacity Manual 2010)
