In this laboratory activity, a distance of 0.5 km between two points at particular location is chosen and a time for a vehicle passing through from first point to another point is recorded. The running speed is measured by dividing the distance passing through with the time taken.
To get a complete speed scenario of this road section data were taken on both weekdays and weekends in four different time periods that include morning peak (8.00a.m-9.00a.m), off-peak (11.00a.m-12.00p.m), evening peak (6.00p.m-7.00p.m) and night time (9.00p.m-10.00p.m).
This document describes a laboratory activity for a Highway Engineering course involving a running speed study. Students will use a moving vehicle technique to collect travel time and delay data along a test route. The objective is to evaluate traffic movement and delays.
I. T o conduct the R unning Speed Study and evaluate the quality of traf fic movement along a route and determ ine the traffic delays by using a moving vehicle technique.

The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) lists the current speed distribution of free-flowing vehicles as a primary factor to consider when establishing speed limits.
The rate of movement of a vehicle in distance per unit of time also known as speed. The common unit is km/hr. running speed is calculated by dividing the total distance by the total running time (only the time vehicle is in motion) for the route.
