Traffic Volume Study
16
Traffic volume is defined as the number of vehicles crossing a
section of road per unit time at any selected period.
Information gathered…..
Hourly, daily, yearly and seasonal traffic volume variations
Volume and direction of traffic
Variation of vehicle flows on different parts of a road
system
Proportion of two wheelers, cars, heavy vehicles, slow
vehicles etc. (Traffic Composition)
CE697 Urban Transport System Planning
Average Annual Flow
17
Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT)
Total yearly volume divided by number of days in a
year (365)
Average Daily Traffic (ADT)
Total volume during certain number of days divided
by number of days
Hourly Volume (HV)
CE697 Urban Transport System Planning
Uses of traffic volume studies
18 Annual Total Traffic Volume
Measuring & establishing trends in traffic volume
Annual travel in vehicle – km used for economic
analysis
Computation of accident rates
Estimation of highway user revenues
CE697 Urban Transport System Planning
19
AADT or ADT Volumes
Highway planning activities: Development of express
ways ,Urban free ways, Bye – passes etc.
Prioritisation of highway improvement programmes
Measuring present demand for service
Evaluating the present traffic flow with respect to
existing highway system

Peak Hourly Volumes
20
Geometric design with respect to number and width of lanes,
intersection design etc.
Determination of deficiency in capacity
Justifying use of control devices such as signals, rotary, markings
etc.
Developing operational programmes such as one way street,
designation of streets etc.
Justifying other regulatory measures like parking, turning,
stopping etc.
Highway classification
Justifying enforcement and its planning
