	Summary Speed, flow and density are the basic parameters of traffic flow. Different measures of speed are used in traffic flow analysis like spot speed, time mean speed, space mean speed etc. Time-space diagram also can be used for determining these parameters. Speed and flow of the traffic stream can be computed using moving observer method.
