Traffic growth on a road facility is generally estimated on the basis of historical trends. Demand changes areusually because of shifts in the pattern of economic activities in the surrounding regions. Hence, future traffic estimationnecessitates a preview, however imprecise, of the probable pattern of future growth of the economy.The exercise of normal traffic growth rate estimation has been carried out by using the elasticity approach. The totaltraffic that is likely to patronize and improves road facility will comprise three distinct streams vizi) normal traffic, ii)generated (or induced) traffic and iii) diverted traffic.The elasticity approach has variables comprising ofï‚· Elasticity Values (published by GoI)ï‚· Socio Economic Profile of the regionï‚· Industrial Development plans and strategyï‚· Economic Indicators
