2. K factor (traffic engineering) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K_factor_(traffic_engineering)

   The K Factor also helps calculate the peak-to-daily ratio of traffic. K30 helps maintain a healthy volume to capacity ratio. [3] K50 and K100 will sometimes be seen. K50 and K100 will not use the 30th highest hourly traffic volumes but the 50th or 100th highest hourly traffic volume when calculating the K factor.

3. Road traffic control - Wikipedia

   Traffic control also includes the use of CCTV and other means of monitoring traffic by local or state roadways ... (500–1,000+ vehicles per hour) traffic is ...

4. Traffic flow - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_flow

   In transportation engineering, traffic flow is the study of interactions between travellers (including pedestrians, cyclists, drivers, and their vehicles) and infrastructure (including highways, signage, and traffic control devices), with the aim of understanding and developing an optimal transport network with efficient movement of traffic and minimal traffic congestion problems.

5. Fundamental diagram of traffic flow - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_diagram_of...

   There is a connection between traffic density and vehicle velocity: The more vehicles are on a road, the slower their velocity will be. To prevent congestion and to keep traffic flow stable, the number of vehicles entering the control zone has to be smaller or equal to the number of vehicles leaving the zone in the same time.

6. Saturation (traffic) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturation_(traffic)

   In traffic engineering, saturation describes the maximum traffic flow which can be handled by a junction. The saturation flow is the rate at which a continuous flow of vehicles can pass through a constant green signal, typically expressed in vehicles per hour or PCUs per hour. [1]

7. Traffic engineering (transportation) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_engineering...

   However, traffic engineers also consider traffic safety by investigating locations with high crash rates and developing countermeasures to reduce crashes. Traffic flow management can be short-term (preparing construction traffic control plans, including detour plans for pedestrian and vehicular traffic) or long-term (estimating the impacts of ...

8. Annual average daily traffic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annual_average_daily_traffic

   Extract of the 2023 Annual Average Daily Traffic Count for Miami, Florida. Annual average daily traffic (AADT) is a measure used primarily in transportation planning, transportation engineering and retail location selection. Traditionally, it is the total volume of vehicle traffic of a highway or road for a year divided by 365 days. AADT is a ...

9. Passenger car equivalent - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passenger_car_equivalent

   Passenger car equivalent (PCE) or passenger car unit (PCU) is a metric used in transportation engineering to assess traffic-flow rate on a highway. [1]A passenger car equivalent is essentially the impact that a mode of transport has on traffic variables (such as headway, speed, density) compared to a single car.
