Concept explainers

Capacity and Level of Service at Intersections

The term capacity is associated with transportation engineering. Capacity helps to understand how many pedestrians or vehicles can be handled by a transport facility. Level of service is also a term associated with transportation engineering. The level of service indicates the performance of the transport facility.
