:Introduction
Determination of design traffic volumes, he design traffic volume needs
.to be determined for each TOD plan

This should be the hourly traffic volume that is converted from the
peak 15-min flow rate, based on the recommended method in the
.highway capacity manual (HCM) 2010

In a case where the peak 15-minute flow rate is not used, peak hour
factors of 0.75 for the major approaches and 0.80 for the minor
.approaches are recommended in the national standard

The design traffic volume of motor vehicles is measured by the

.passenger car unit (pcu)

Seven vehicle types, that is, passenger car, motor cycle, van (>7 *
seats), minivan, heavy truck, bus, and tram, are considered in the
.determination of design traffic volume
:Trips can be classified according to its purpose in jordan
.work trips -1
.shopping trips -2
.recreation trips -3
.social trips -4
.school trips -5
VOLUME STUDIES:
pedestrians that pass a point on a highway facility during a specified time period. This
time period varies from as little as 15 minutes to as much as a year depending on the
anticipated use of the data. The data collected also may be put into subclasses which
may include directional movement, occupancy rates, vehicle classification, and pedestrian
age. Traffic volume studies are usually conducted when certain volume characteristics
are needed, some of which follow:

Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) is the average of 24-hour counts collected
every day of the year. AADTs are used in several traffic and transportation
analyses for:
a. Estimation of highway user revenues.
b. Computation of crash rates in terms of number of crashes per 100 million
vehicle miles.
c. Establishment of traffic volume trends.
d. Evaluation of the economic feasibility of highway projects.
e. Development of freeway and major arterial street systems.
f. Development of improvement and maintenance programs.

2. Average Daily Traffic (ADT) is the average of 24-hour counts collected over a
number of days greater than one but less than a year. ADTs may be used for:

a. Planning of highway activities.

b. Measurement of current demand.
c. Evaluation of existing traffic flow.

Peak Hour Volume (PHV) is the maximum number of vehicles that pass a point
on a highway during a period of 60 consecutive minutes. PHVs are used for:

a. Functional classification of highways.

b. Design of the geometric characteristics of a highway, for example, number of
lanes, intersection signalization, or channelization.
c. Capacity analysis.
d. Development of programs related to traffic operations, for example, one-way
street systems or traffic routing.
e. Development of parking regulations.
Objectives:
The main objectives of this study are:

1- To improve the public transit system in Jordan.

2-To determine volume of Transportation In Jordan streets and capacity.

.To determine peak Hour Volume in each period for the all samples -3

Determining and clarifying the number of, passengers in each vehicle passing from the -4
.collection point, and heavy vehicles

Knowing the percentage of passengers in each vehicle passing through the collection -5
.point

:Methodology
Traffic volume counts are conducted using two basic methods: manual and automatic.
A description of each counting method follows.

Manual Method
Manual counting involves one or more persons recording observed vehicles using a
counter. With this type of counter, both the turning movements at the intersection and
the types of vehicles can be recorded. Note that in general, the inclusion of pickups
and light trucks with four tires in the category of passenger cars does not create any
significant deficiencies in the data collected, since the performance characteristics of
these vehicles are similar to those of passenger cars. In some instances, however, a
more detailed breakdown of commercial vehicles may be required which would necessitate
the collection of data according to number of axles and/or weight. However,
the degree of truck classification usually depends on the anticipated use of the data
.collected

to record volume data for different movements and different types of vehicles. The data for
.each movement can be recorded in 1, 5, 15, 30, or 60 minute intervals

The collection of data was taken at the peak hours, the evening and morning peak in all
.sampel. Data collection was in thierd semster from ( 1/8/2022) to ( 25/8/2022 )
