    Volume studies present traffic data through methods like flow maps, intersection sheets, and time-based charts. They analyze volume characteristics like peak hours and the impact of weather. Minimum sample sizes for counts are determined using equations to achieve a desired precision level. Periodic counts are adjusted based on factors like day of week.

    SPOT SPEED STUDIES


    spot speed studies are usually taken only from a sample of

    vehicles
    using the section of the highway on which the study is
    conducted.
    These data are used to determine the speed characteristics of
    the whole population of vehicles.
    Most commonly used is the frequency distribution table

    SPOT SPEED STUDIES


    Other Forms of Presentation and Analysis of Speed Data
    May require a more complicated presentation and analysis of
    the speed data
    May be necessary for the speed data to be fitted into a
    suitable theoretical frequency distribution.
    methods of hypothesis testing: Chi square testing
    Comparison of mean speed
    Sometimes necessary to know if there is significant difference
    between the mean speeds of two spot speed studies.

    VOLUME STUDIES
    Traffic Volume Data Presentation
    1. Traffic flow map - Show individual routes. Volume of traffic is
    represented by the width of a band.
    2. Intersection summary sheets - Graphic representations of
    the volume and directions of all traffic movement at the
    intersection.
    3. Time-based distribution charts - Show hourly, monthly and
    annual variation in traffic volume in an area or a highway.
    4. Summary Tables - Summary of traffic volume data such as
    PHV, Vehicle Classification (VC) and ADT in tabular form.

    VOLUME STUDIES
    Traffic Volume Characteristic
    Based on regular observation of traffic volumes over the
    years.
    This variation is repetitive and rhythmic.
    Taken into consideration when traffic counts are being
    planned.
    Factors: Weather and peak hours.
    .

    VOLUME STUDIES
    Sample Size and Adjustment of Periodic Counts
    Minimum sample size depends on the precision level desired
    (95-5 is commonly used).
    When sample size < 30, selection of counting station is
    random.
