Chapter 3. Volume, Density Speed Studies and Characteristics Volume (rate of flow) --- intensity of traffic movement Speed --- motion condition Density --- distribution of traffic flow over space Relationship among three parameters --- mathematical equations 1. Volume Volume --- is defined as the number of vehicles that pass a point on a highway, or a given lane or direction of a highway, during a specified time interval, generally a day or an hour. Some useful volumes AADT (Average Annual Daily Traffic 年平均日交通量) AAWT (Average Annual Weekday Traffic 年平均工作日交通量) ADT (Average Daily Traffic 平均日交通量) AWT (Average Weekday Traffic 平均工作日交通量) Daily variation factor (DF) --- is defined as ratio of AADT over yearly average volume for particular day of week (Monday, Tuesday etc.) Monthly variation factor (MF) --- is defined as ratio of AADT over ADT for particular month of the year Hourly volumes and peak hour volume （小时流量，高峰小时流量） Hourly volumes are used to reflect variation (fluctuation) of traffic volume in a day Peak hour volume is defined as the volume in the single hour that has the highest hourly volume Rate of flow (流率）--- defined as an equivalent hourly volume for a given interval (interval can be 5, 10, 15 minutes) used in design to reflect the worst scenario used in modeling mathematical relationship among parameters in research generally the shorter the interval the higher the rate of flow Peak hour factor （高峰小时系数）--- is defined as the ratio of hourly volume divided by maximum rate of flow The 30th hourly volume (第30位小时交通量) --- defined as an hourly volume at which its ranking on yearly-counting curve counts 30th among 8760 hourly volumes in a year DDHV (Directional Design Hourly Volume 设计小时流量) --- DDHV = AADTⅹK ⅹD where: K is proportion of daily traffic occurring during the peak hour, expressed as a decimal; D is proportion of peak-hour traffic traveling in the peak direction, expressed as a decimal VMT (Vehicle Miles Traveled=车英里) or VKT(Vehicle Kilom
