Level of Service (LOS) is a qualitative measure used in transportation planning and traffic engineering to assess the operational efficiency and quality of service provided by a transportation facility, such as roads, highways, or public transit systems. It reflects the user experience, including factors like speed, congestion, safety, comfort, and convenience.
LOS is typically classified into categories labeled from A to F, with A representing free-flowing conditions
The levels are determined based on various criteria such as vehicle density, average travel speed, traffic
LOS is a key element in transportation planning and policy, influencing decisions on roadway improvements, traffic
While LOS provides valuable insights into traffic performance, it has limitations, such as its focus on average
