| Peak Hour Factor Calculations | ||||||
| PHF = (V1+V2+V3+V4) / (4 x Max(V1, V2, V3, V4)) | ||||||
| 15-Minute Period Beginning | Constant Court | Surge Street | ||||
| Count | PHF | Count | PHF | |||
| 4:00 | PM | 100 | 50 | |||
| 4:15 | PM | 110 | 0.95 | 80 | ||
| 4:30 | PM | 115 | 200 | 0.70 | ||
| 4:45 | PM | 100 | 150 | Much Different Peak Hour Factor! | ||
| 5:00 | PM | 110 | 120 | |||
| 5:15 | PM | 100 | 90 | |||
| 5:30 | PM | 100 | 60 | |||
| 5:45 | PM | 100 | 50 | |||
| 835 | 800 | Count for the 2-Hour PM Peak Periods are the Same! | ||||
| USED FOR WHAT? | ||||||
| PHF's are used in Capacity Analysis and Signal Timing Analysis | ||||||
| (How many lanes do I need? What should the relative green times be?) | ||||||
