The environment considered for temperature , heat , cold, fog, mist, rainfall etc
o Traffic charaterstics
o Traffic studies and analysis
o Traffic Operation – control and regulation

2 Vehicular Characterstics
Density is the number of vehicles occupying a unit length of lane
roadway at a given instant .
Traffic Capacity is the ability of a roadway to accomodate traffics
volume.
