Question

Transcribed Image Text:Example : For the following traffic composition
Passenger car
Busses (>25 passenger) =5%
Heavy vehicle
motorcycle
Determine the equivalent passenger car unit if the total number of
vehicles passing is 8500 veh.
=50%
=42%
=3%
Solution:
No. Passenger cars
No. of busses (25 passenger)
No. heavy vehicle
No. of motorcycle
Total equivalent passenger car =
= 8500* (50/100) = 4250
= 8500* (05/100) = 425
= 8500* (42/100) = 4570
= 8500* (03/100) = 255
4250*1+ 425*2.5+3570*3+255*0.33
Total equivalent passenger car =
4250+1062.5+10710+84.15 = 16107 PCU
