Calculation Results

Calculation Formula

Traffic Load (Vehicles per meter) = (Vehicle Count / (Time Period * Road Width))

Where:
Vehicle Count: Total number of vehicles passing in the time period
Time Period: Duration in hours
Road Width: Width of the road in meters

Traffic Load Calculator Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Traffic Load Calculator calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the total number of vehicles that passed a specific point on the road during a given time period.
  2. Input the time period in hours during which the vehicle count was measured.
  3. Specify the width of the road in meters.
  4. Click the "Calculate" button to determine the traffic load.
  5. The result will be displayed as "Vehicles per meter," which indicates the density of traffic on the road.

Traffic Classification

The calculator also classifies the traffic load into categories:

  • Low: Less than 0.5 vehicles per meter
  • Medium: Between 0.5 and 1.5 vehicles per meter
  • High: Between 1.5 and 3 vehicles per meter
  • Very High: More than 3 vehicles per meter

Principle and Formula

The calculator uses the formula:

Traffic Load (Vehicles per meter) = (Vehicle Count / (Time Period * Road Width))

This formula helps in understanding the density of traffic on a road, which is crucial for traffic management, road planning, and determining the need for traffic calming measures.
