 Cisco - Voice Design and Implementation Guide
Traffic Engineering, as it applies to traditional voice networks, is determining the number of trunks necessary to carry a required amount of voice calls during a period of time.
A is the traffic flow, C is the number of calls originating during a period of 1 hour, and T is the average holding time of a call.
Given that there are 9 erlangs of traffic in one hour and an average of 3 minutes per call, convert one hour to minutes, multiply the number of erlangs, and divide the total by the average call duration.

 Intelligent Transportation Systems - Traffic Surveillance
The disadvantages of radar are the requirement for a structure or sign bridge for overhead mounting, the limited field operational experience, the small number of vendors in the market, and the difficulties of accurately sensing lane occupancy and slow moving or stopped vehicles with the Doppler units.
In this band frequency content includes both engine and tire noise (though most of the acoustic noise is produced by the tires).
Emphasis was placed on urban traffic conditions, such as heavy congestion, and locations that typify temporary counting locations, such as 48-hour or peak hour counts.

 Traffic Analysis
Traffic is defined as either the amount of data or the number of messages over a circuit during a given period of time.
Traffic load is the ratio of call arrivals in a specified period of time to the average amount of time taken to service each call during that period.
Traffic would then increase between nodes A and C, and between C and B. This additional traffic would require that those links be engineered to handle the additional load.
