Traffic volume study was carried out to count the number of vehicles passing a specific

reference point on a road section within a specified period of time. Each mechanical
hand tally counter represents each flow. The study shows that the number of each type
of vehicles passes from each direction, as well as the number of each vehicles passes
from each direction in every 15 minutes within an hour, from 0915 a.m. up to 1015 a.m.
For each 15 minutes that had been conducted with the number of vehicles taken, result
for peak hour for the road can be taken.

Throughout the observation, the traffic volume increases from 09:15 to 09:30 and from
10:00 to 10:15. While, the traffic volume decreases from 09:30 to 10:00. Direction 3
recorded as the highest number of vehicles travelled the selected location which is 587
vehicles in total. At the same time, Direction 1 recorded 267 vehicles in total which falls
under the second highest vehicle volume passes the location. In contrast, both Direction
5 and Direction 6 recorded as the lowest vehicle volume travelled the same location
throughout the study, which are 18 and 17 in total respectively. This indicates that there
are more vehicle travelled in the main road (from Gate 1 and Gate 2) compared to the
minor road (from Laboratory of Civil Engineering).

More than half of the vehicle passes the selected location are cars which are recorded
about 55.24%. Motorcycles record as the second highest vehicle travelled the selected
location (41.24%), followed by buses (1.98%), van & utilities (1.03%) and medium
lorry (0.52%). There is no heavy lorry passing the intersection recorded throughout the
study.
Flow rate of vehicles per hour was calculated to estimate the peak hour factor (PHF)
which represents the ratio of total hourly volume to the maximum flow rate within 1
hour. Average vehicles volume per hour was calculated in order to estimate the average
daily traffic (ADT) to measure present demand of traffic flow per hour and per day.
