Microsimulation-based passenger car equivalents for heavy vehicles driving turbo-roundabouts
Transport, 2016 Due to its geometric design, turbo-roundabouts impose greatest constraints to the vehicular trajectories; by consequence, one can expect a more unfavourable impact of heavy vehicles on the traffic conditions than on other types of roundabouts.
