Abstract

Techniques for the analysis of capacity and performance of traffic and unsignalized roundabouts are presented. Performance measures considered include delay, back of queue and cycle-average queue, effective stop rate, queue move-up rate and proportioned queue, queue clearance time and queue storage ratio. The basic principles of modeling the capacity and performance of roundabouts are discussed and the model used in the SIDRA software package are also presented.
