ANALYSIS

V = hourly volume, in vph

V15 = volume during the peak 15 minutes of the peak hour.
ADT = V__
V15 x 4
= 3595_
1131 x 4
= 0.795vph
DISCUSSION

From the result we get, cars & taxi own the majority and motorcycle comes
second. We get a total number of 3595 in an hour surveying, 71% is car & taxi, 22% is
