Traffic Density Calculator
Physics & EngineeringCalculates traffic flow, density, average speed, and headway (vehicle spacing) using the fundamental traffic-flow equation.
Traffic Flow (Vehicles/Hour)
The rate of vehicles passing per hour.
Traffic Density (Vehicles/km)
100.00
The number of vehicles per kilometer of road.
Headway (m)
10.0
The average spacing between consecutive vehicles.
Average Speed (km/h)
6.0
The average traffic speed, derived from flow divided by density.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is traffic density calculated?
Flow = Vehicles / Time. Density = Vehicles / Road Segment Length. The fundamental traffic-flow relationship, Flow = Speed x Density, is then used to back out the average speed.
