30.0% a 3 hr peak period with 10% of AADT per hr = 30% of AADT
35.0% These splits are used to differentiate speed, delay and
35.0% veh. Op. costs during different periods of the day.
100.0% Total must equal 100%
100 Representative average speeds in peak and shoulder
100 periods are usually not much lower than speeds in
