Example

• Maximum Hourly One Way Traffic Flow

c = I x R x T
c = 1000 x 1.0 x 0.77 = 770 vehicles per hour

• Assuming hourly capacity is ten per cent of daily capacity.

C = 7700 veh/day/lane

• The estimated daily traffic V after 10 years is given by

V = 6,600 (1 + 0.07) 10

--------------------------

2
= 6490 veh/day/lane

• Hence capacity has not been reached after 10 years.
