The maximum number of vehicles observed in any five minute period during the peak hour is 160. If the total flow in the peak hour is 1000 vehicles

Q. The maximum number of vehicles observed in any five minute period during the peak hour is 160. If the total flow in the peak hour is 1000 vehicles, the five minute peak hour factor (round off to 2 decimal places) is _________________________

The five-minute peak hour factor for 5 minutes is defined as the ratio of peak hourly traffic for 5 minutes to the maximum possible traffic for minutes.

Given,  (maximum number of vehicle) in 5 minutes = 160

vehicles  Flow in the peak hour = 1000 vehicles
