The Peak Hour Factor (PHF) simply compares the traffic volume during the busiest 15-minutes of the
peak hour with the total volume during the peak hour. It indicates how consistent traffic volume is during
the peak hour. The following shows the equation:

If 15-minute periods are used, the PHF is computed as:

Where:
V = peak-hour volume
V15 = volume during the peak 15 minutes of flow

Peak Hour Volume of B.Benedicto St.

from 5:00-6:00 pm This shows that the 15-minute vehicle volumes are
250 more variable.
