• Traffic volume is the number of vehicles crossing a section of road per unit time
at any selected period. Traffic volume is used as a quantity measure of flow. The
commonly used units are vehicles per day and vehicles per hour. A complete
traffic volume study may include classified volume study by recording the
volume of various types and classes of traffic. The distribution by direction and
turning movements and the distribution or different lanes per unit time.
• Different vehicles classes are converted to one common standard vehicle unit-
PCU- Passenger Car Unit. Number of vehicles are multiplied by equivalency
factor to convert number of vehicles into PCU.

2.5 Parking Studies
On street parking
• Parallel parking
• 30 parking
• 45 parking
• 60 parking
• Right angle parking
Residential
Commercial
Industrial
May be as small as one city block or as large as 10 sq. miles
• Won’t go into
Trip-rate analysis models
• Average trip-production or trip-attraction rates for specific types of producers and attractors
Assessment
• contains the testing and evaluation of the alternativesselected
before.
• emphasis on the ability of the traffic and environmental impact
of each alternative strategy
• to choose and determine the best transportation system for future
needs
4.3 Travel Demand
Models
• The model outputs, in essence are numbers that show what each
alternative is likely to mean in terms of estimated volumes or riders.
These estimated volumes can be related to a wide variety of other issues
that might be important in identifying more desirable alternatives. Thus,
volume estimates are critical elements in the evaluation of transportation
plans and projects
• Environmental justice is the term used when benefits/ burden assessment
is applied to low-income and minority households. Environmental justice
investigates how transportation plans, programs and projects provide
benefits to all segments of the society.
