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.

Passenger Car Equivalents for Heavy Vehicles at Roundabouts. a Synthesis Review [PDF]
Frontiers in Built Environment, 2019 Passenger Car Equivalents (PCEs in the following) are used to transform a mixed fleet of vehicles into a fleet of equivalent passenger cars and to analyze capacity and level-of-service of roads and intersections.

Passenger Car Equivalent Estimation for Rural Highways: Methodological Review
Transportation Research Procedia, 2020 Abstract Level of service (LOS) determination is carried out with respect to the base stream which contains only passenger cars in the traffic stream. The actual traffic stream rarely contains only passenger cars, giving rise to the heterogeneous traffic conditions.

Calibrating the passenger car equivalent on Italian two line highways: a case study
Transport, 2014 The Level Of Service (LOS) of a road infrastructure, a concept introduced for the first time in the Highway Capacity Manual (second edition), is defined as the ‘qualitative measure of traffic conditions and their perception by users’.

Developing standard pedestrian-equivalent factors: passenger car–equivalent approach for dealing with pedestrian diversity [PDF]
, 2012 Similar to vehicular traffic, pedestrians, despite having diverse capabilities and body sizes, can be classified as heterogeneous. The use of vehicular traffic resolves the diversity issue with a conversion of heterogeneous vehicle flow into an ...

Developing Passenger Car Equivalents for Freeways by Microsimulation
Transportation Research Procedia, 2015 AbstractIn this paper a method of estimation of the passenger car equivalents for heavy vehicles on freeway is described. The variation in traffic quality was evaluated basing on a traffic demand characterized by different percentages of heavy vehicles.
