Time
Discussion
From the observation, the data that we get is not so accurate. This is because have many problem that we faced. Firstly, the time given is not enough. Time given is 1 hour only. Beside that we have lost focused in calculate the transports it cause the transport so mostly in one time.Lastly, we did not comfortable at our observation places.
Conclusion
From the line chart that we get, the peak hour at Ampang to Ipoh is 232 at hour 8.41 am 8.45 am and the lowest at time 9.21 am to 9.25 am with the value 114.5. From the line chart Ipoh to Ampang the peak hour is 8.41 am to 8.45 am with the value 94.75 and the lowest is at time 9.16 am to 9.20 am with the value 35.75. From the observation, the data that we get is not so accurate. This is because have many problem that we faced. Firstly, the time given is not enough. Time given is 1 hour only. Lastly, we did not comfortable at our observation places. So the recommendation is, extend the time do the observation and plus the group member. We also recommend that, give a counter to count the total of vehicles .
