"In Reality"

Calculated via some Formula:

FDOT :
% Trucks (> 6 Tires)
Directional Factor (= 0.5 for Two-Way Roads)
Lane Factor (From Table D.2)
Equivalency Factors (Table D.3)

ESALANNUAL = AADT x T21 x DF x FF x E 18 x 365 days/year

6% Trucks
Rural Arterial

ESALANNUAL = 20,000veh/day x 0.06x 0.5 x0.81 x 0.96 x365


ESALANNUAL = 170,294

2 lanes in each direction
