Abstract: The precise determination of relationship between speed and flow is essential for arriving at the capacity of a road. The Principal objective of the present study is to evaluate speed-flow relationships on National Highway-8 for different types of vehicles by developing separate speed-flow equations on NH-8.
Keywords: Capacity, Flow, Free Speed, Spot Speed, Lane Width, Speed-Flow Equations.
