Question
Describe the method of constructing a traffic flow map.
Solution
A traffic flow map is a combination of graph and map. It is drawn to show the flow of commodities or people between the places of origin and destination. It is also called Dynamic Map. A transport map, which shows the number of passengers, vehicles, etc., is the best example of a flow chart. These charts are drawn using lines of proportional width. Many government agencies prepare traffic flow maps to show the density of the means of transportation on different routes.
Methods for the Preparation of a Traffic Flow Map:
- A route map depicting the desired transport routes along with the connecting stations.
- The data pertaining to the flow of goods, services, number of vehicles, etc. along with the point of origin and destination of the movements.
- The selection of a scale through which the data related to the number of passengers and goods or the number of vehicles is to be represented.
