Traffic heavy-vehicle equivalence calculator

Calculate equivalent passenger-car volume and heavy-equivalence uplift with your own figures.

Your numbers

Use the units shown. Results update as you change valid inputs.

Use equivalent passenger-car volume and heavy-equivalence uplift to compare changes to your inputs. The method and limits below explain the scope.

Examples

Examples

Try the starting example

Vehicle counts by class (count)
500,50,20
User-supplied passenger-car equivalents
1,2,3
Equivalent passenger-car volume
660
Heavy-equivalence uplift (equivalent vehicles)
90

Try another scenario

Vehicle counts by class (count)
[501, 50, 20]
User-supplied passenger-car equivalents
[1, 2, 3]
Equivalent passenger-car volume
661
Heavy-equivalence uplift (equivalent vehicles)
90
Calculation method

Calculation method

Equivalent passenger-car volume

Sum observed class counts × entered class equivalence factors; no capacity-model default factors.

Heavy-equivalence uplift (equivalent vehicles)

Sum observed class counts × entered class equivalence factors; no capacity-model default factors.

Symbols and units
a
Vehicle counts by class (count)
b
User-supplied passenger-car equivalents

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • User-supplied measurements and assumptions; Sum observed class counts × entered class equivalence factors; no capacity-model default factors. Supported limits: Finite numeric values bounded to 1e9 magnitude; lists and tables contain 1–100 records unless a stricter bound is stated. Inputs use the units shown. Lists explicitly paired by a method must have matching lengths; independent polynomial coefficient vectors may differ. Respect stated physical, interpolation, policy and computational domain limits.
