OBJECTIVE:- To determine the rate of traffic flow in a particular area to know the composition of traffic and vehicle speed.

APPARATUS

WatchSafety vestStationaryLab sheetLOCATIONJalan Raja Musa Mahadi

PROCEDURESelect a suitable site in along Jalan Raja Musa Mahadi near the entrance of the polytechnic. (Make sure the site chosen is not dangerous and does not interfere with existing traffic).

Determine the rate of traffic flow at the selected area. Take note of the number of vehicles based on the type of road via Jalan Raja Musa Mahadi and the types of each vehicle every minutes. (From Ipoh to Ampang and Ampang to Ipoh). Classes for each vehicles every five minutes.Do the observation for 1 hour.Convert the vehicles count data into P.C.U (refer to Arahan Tekniik (Jalan) 8/86 Conversion Factor to P.C.U) in every 5 minutes intervals.Traffic Volume Study Data FormName of observer: NURULHUDA BT AZMI, NURFARINA BT ABD.RAHMAN, MOHAMAD SYAFIQ B.

QUESTION3. Make a bar chart to show the composition of the traffic with 5 minutes intervals.

ANSWERDiscussionFrom the observation, the data that we get is not so accurate. This is because have many problem that we faced. Firstly, the time given is not enough. Time given is 1 hour only. Beside that we have lost focused in calculate the transports it cause the transport so mostly in one time.Lastly, we did not comfortable at our observation places.

ConclusionFrom the line chart that we get, the peak hour at Ampang to Ipoh is 232 at hour 8.41 am 8.45 am and the lowest at time 9.21 am to 9.25 am with the value 114.5. From the line chart Ipoh to Ampang the peak hour is 8.41 am to 8.45 am with the value 94.75 and the lowest is at time 9.16 am to 9.20 am with the value 35.75.From the observation, the data that we get is not so accurate. This is because have many problem that we faced. Firstly, the time given is not enough. Time given is 1 hour only. Lastly, we did not comfortable at our observation places.So the recommendation is, extend the time do the observation and plus the group member. We also recommend that, give a counter to count the total of vehicles .
