Träfikströmmen
Träfikströmmen refers to the movement of vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians and other users through a transportation network. The term is commonly used in Swedish traffic engineering and planning to describe both the instantaneous flow of traffic at a specific location and the overall dynamics of traffic over larger regions. It is measured in terms of volume (number of units per hour) and speed (kilometres per hour) and is often expressed as flow rate, a product of density and velocity.
In traffic theory Träfikströmmen is analyzed at both macroscopic and microscopic levels. Macroscopic models treat the
Several factors influence Träfikströmmen, including road capacity, geometric layout, signal timing, driver behaviour, vehicle mix and
Swedish authorities employ a range of tools—from loop detector networks to GPS‑based probe data—to monitor and
