Volume data are needed in research,planning,designing and regulation phases of traffic engineering and also used in establishing priorities and schedules of traffic improvements.
What is Volume/flow?
The total number of vehicles that pass over a given point or section of a lane or roadway during a given time interval.It may be expressed in terms of annual,daily,hourly or sub-hourly periods; usually vph or vpd. Volume is an actual number of vehicles observed or predicted to passing a point during a given time interval.
What is rate of flow?
The equivalent hourly rate of which vehicles pass over a given point or section of a lane or roadway during a given time interval less than 1 hr.usually 15 min. It represents the number of vehicles passing during a time interval less than 1 hr, but expressed as an equivalent hourly rate.
