  2. K factor (traffic engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K_factor_(traffic_engineering)

    The K Factor also helps calculate the peak-to-daily ratio of traffic. K30 helps maintain a healthy volume to capacity ratio. [3] K50 and K100 will sometimes be seen. K50 and K100 will not use the 30th highest hourly traffic volumes but the 50th or 100th highest hourly traffic volume when calculating the K factor.

  3. Passengers per hour per direction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passengers_per_hour_per...

    Three parallel escalators; the direction of the middle escalator can be changed to double capacity in one direction (↑↑↓ or ↑↓↓).. Many public transport systems handle a high directional flow of passengers— often traveling to work in a city in the morning rush hour and away from the said city in the late afternoon.

  4. Busy-hour call attempts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busy-hour_call_attempts

    In telecommunications, busy-hour call attempts (BHCA) is a teletraffic engineering measurement used to evaluate and plan capacity for telephone networks. [1] BHCA is the number of telephone calls attempted at the sliding 60-minute period during which occurs the maximum total traffic load in a given 24-hour period (BHCA), and the higher the BHCA, the higher the stress on the network processors.

  5. Rush hour - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rush_hour

    Morning rush hour on the New York City Subway platform at Jackson Heights–Roosevelt Avenue Afternoon rush hour traffic on Interstate 95 in Miami. A rush hour (American English, British English) or peak hour (Australian English, Indian English) is a part of the day during which traffic congestion on roads and crowding on public transport is at its highest.

  6. Annual average daily traffic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annual_average_daily_traffic

    Each day-of-week's MADW is then calculated across months to calculate an Annual Average Day of Week (AADW) (7 per year). Finally, the AADWs are averaged to calculate an AADT. The United States Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has adopted this method as the preferred method in the FHWA Traffic Monitoring Guide.

  7. Volumetric flow rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volumetric_flow_rate

    The area required to calculate the volumetric flow rate is real or imaginary, flat or curved, either as a cross-sectional area or a surface. The vector area is a combination of the magnitude of the area through which the volume passes through, A , and a unit vector normal to the area, n ^ {\displaystyle {\hat {\mathbf {n} }}} .

  8. Pressure–volume diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure–volume_diagram

    Watt's indicator diagram. The PV diagram, then called an indicator diagram, was developed in 1796 by James Watt and his employee John Southern. [2] Volume was traced by a plate moving with the piston, while pressure was traced by a pressure gauge whose indicator moved at right angles to the piston.

  9. Spirometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirometry

    a volume-time curve, showing volume (litres) along the Y-axis and time (seconds) along the X-axis; a flow-volume loop, which graphically depicts the rate of airflow on the Y-axis and the total volume inspired or expired on the X-axis
