Traffic Engineering :
Traffic Engineering is divided into :
1. Traffic characteristics

Traffic Characteristics :
1. Road User Characteristics
2. Vehicular Characteristics

Road User Characteristics :
1. Physical
2. Mental
3. Psychological
4. Environmental

Vehicular Characteristics :
1. Static – Dimensions and Weight
2. Dynamic – Power, Speed, Acceleration, Turning radius, Breaking force

Breaking test to find skid resistance :
At least, two of the following three measurements are needed during breaking test to find the skid resistance.
1. Breaking distance (Skid Mark)
2. Initial Speed
3. Actual duration of break application

Traffic Volume : It is the number of vehicles per hour passing on the road.
