Traffic Index, what does it really mean?

Hi, I have been asked to educate one of my my clients on what Traffic Index really means. I have not found any good resources that really explain it well.
Thanks in advance
Thanks in advance





RE: Traffic Index, what does it really mean?
I'm not sure of the context of your question. There can be many types of traffic indexes. One might illustrate traffic growth over the past 50 years. Another could show the change in traffic volume on a road segment over a day, a week, or some other time period.

The Caltrans (CA Dept of Transportation) "Highway Design Manual" defines the TI in §602.4. You can download the entire HDM by chapter at http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/oppd/hdm/hdmtoc.htm. At a minimum, get Chapter 600, since it also shows design methods for both AC and PCC structural sections using the TI and R-value.
