Auteur : Commission des communautés européennes,Définition
A ratio of the volume occurring during the peak hour to the maximum rate of flow during a given time period within the peak hour. It is a measure of peaking characteristics, whose maximum attainable value is one. The term must be qualified by a specified short period within the hour; this is usually 5 or 6 min for freeway operation and 15 min for intersection operation. For example, "a peak hour factor of 0.80 based on a 5-min rate of flow".
