Differently from the capacity model proposed in, Mauro and Branco adapted to turbo-roundabouts the Brilon capacity model, based on the theory of the gap-acceptance; moreover, for comparing compact multilane roundabouts and turbo-roundabouts, they particularized the Brilon capacity model assuming the same number of entering and circulating lanes (setting them equal to 1).

The findings are that (a) the pseudoconflict should be taken into account and (b) the turbo roundabout will have a larger capacity than the Dutch standard concentric double-lane roundabout because of the better circulatory lane-split. Effect of Heavy Vehicles at Australian Traffic Circles and Unsignalized Intersections. The capacity at each entry of a turbo-roundabout has been shown to be conditioned by the capacity at single lanes, by conflicting vehicles and pedestrian flow, by the combination of circulating flows along lanes at circulatory carriageway, by user behaviours (through parameters Tg, Tf, Tmin) as well as by the balance of traffic demand at the entry.

At modern multilane roundabouts in the United States, the capacity of one entry lane ranges from 300 to 1,100 passenger cars per hour (pc/h), depending on conflicting flow in the circulatory roadway, implying a total approach capacity ranging from approximately 600 to 2,200 pc/h for a two-lane approach. A high capacity roundabout, inner circle is for left turning traffic, middle circle for traffic going straight and slip lane deals with traffic going right. 0000271558 00000 n
