Passenger car equivalent for heavy vehicles crossing turbo-roundabouts

Transportation Research Procedia, 2016
AbstractTurbo-roundabouts represent an innovative scheme of modern roundabouts which provides a spiraling traffic flow and requires drivers to choose their direction before entering the intersection, since raised lane separators mark the lanes on the ring. The configuration of the turbo-roundabout makes that patterns of conflict at entries with one and
