Overview

The Highway Capacity Manual defines the capacity as the maximum howdy rate at which persons or vehicle can be reasonably expected to traverse a point or a uniform segment of a lane or roadway during a given time period, under prevailing roadway, traffic and control conditions. Level-of-Service is introduced by HCM to denote the level of quality one can derive from a local under different operation characteristics and traffic volume.
