Definition of peak hour factor in traffic engineering?
Peak hour is the period during which traffic volume is at its highest. The analysis of level of service is based on peak rates of flow occurring within the peak hour because substantial short-term fluctuations typically occur during an hour. Common practice is to use a peak 15-minute rate of flow. Flow rates are usually expressed in vehicles per hour, not vehicles per 15 minutes. The relationship between the peak 15-minute flow rate and the full hourly volume is given by the peak-hour factor (PHF) as shown in the following equation: PHF = (Hourly volume) / (peak rate of flow within the hour) If 15-minute periods are used, the PHF is computed as: PHF = V / (4 x V15) Where V = peak-hour volume (vph) V15 = volume during the peak 15 minutes of flow (veh/15 minutes) V15 is multiplied by 4 because 4 x 15 = 60 minutes. PHF tells you how close the peak hour volume is to the "maximum" volume (if all the periods within the hour had the same volume as the busiest one).
Suggest another way to control traffic flow during peak hours?
provide more public services
Another way to control traffic flow during peak hours?
Take the public transport instead of driving.
How do you control traffic flow during peaks hour in Singapore?
There are a few ways to control traffic flow during peak hours in Singapore.. 1)Leave for work/school earlier so you do not have to pay the Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) charges. 2)Use the public transports( MRT, LRT, Buses) 3)Change your routes.
Suggest a way to control traffic flow during peak hours.?
I had some suggestion on how to control the traffic. They can build an expressway that is convenient to the drivers. But this does not control the traffic. So ERP is the best way to control traffic. Other than that, the government could try putting some traffic police there.
A way to control traffic flow during peak hours?
* Build more expressway * Provide more public services * Build houses nearer to office buildings

What are the peak traffic hours in your area?
Peak traffic hours in our area typically occur during the morning rush hour from 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM and the evening rush hour from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM.
What does rush hour mean?
"Rush Hour" is the time when traffic is at its peak - when everyone is rushing for work or home, and things are hectic.

Who told the traffic lights what to do?
Traffic lights are programmed by a central computer - and they also receive signals from a sensor built into the road - to take account of he increased traffic flow at peak times.
What are the uses of traffic light signal?
Traffic light signals are used primarily to control the flow of vehicular and pedestrian traffic at intersections, ensuring safety and efficiency. They provide clear, visual cues that indicate when vehicles and pedestrians should stop or proceed, reducing the risk of accidents. Additionally, traffic lights can help manage congestion by coordinating traffic movement during peak hours. They also enhance the overall organization of roadways, contributing to smoother traffic flow.
