Turning Movements survey at intersection Objective: This experiment involves the collection of turning movement volume data‚ which is essential for designing traffic signal timing plans. Application : This will allow you to calculate the PHF (Peak hour factor) for each turning movement at each intersection‚ to be used for developing traffic signal timing plans The relation between hourly volume and the maximum probable rate of flow within an hour is defined by the peak hour factor (PHF).
