K factor (traffic engineering)
text:
In transportation engineering, the K factor is defined as the proportion of annual average daily traffic occurring in an hour.
This factor is used for designing and analyzing the flow of traffic on highways. K factors must be calculated at a continuous count station, usually an "automatic traffic recorder", for a year before being determined. Usually this number is the proportion of "annual average daily traffic" (AADT) occurring at the 30th-highest hour of traffic density from the year's-worth
