5.60 - 1 Design Hour Volumes (DHVs) and Directional Design Hour Volumes (DDHVs) were derived from the Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) volumes using the appropriate Design Hour Factor (K) and Directional Distribution Factor (D). These factors provide the ratio of the AADT that occurs during the design hour for the design year and the proportion of traffic traveling in the peak direction, respectively, and represent the amount of traffic demand that a roadway is typically designed to accommodate.
