This document defines key traffic stream parameters and discusses their relationships. It introduces parameters like volume, speed, density, peak hour factor, and daily volumes. Volume is the number of vehicles passing a point in a given time. Speed can be measured as time mean speed or space mean speed. Density refers to the number of vehicles occupying a roadway section. Traffic flow involves variability over time and space. Traffic streams on uninterrupted and interrupted facilities differ in how they are impacted by external factors.
