approach in one hour, if the signal light were green for the entire hour. Using the TDC-8 and PETRA program
simplifies the process of collecting and analyzing this data. Up to four lanes of data can be analyzed for one
approach to an intersection. Detailed reports can be produced that will provide not only the saturation flow rate,
