Turbo-roundabouts vs Roundabouts Performance Level [PDF]
Procedia, Social and Behavioral Sciences, 2012 AbstractIn this paper the performance level of basic turbo-roundabouts and double-lane roundabouts are compared. Cowan's M3 headway distribution was chosen to take into account bunched vehicles moving along each circulating lane; the Hagring model was adopted to evaluate entry capacity both at turbo-roundabout and at double-lane roundabout.The ...

Moving from Conventional Roundabouts to Turbo-roundabouts [PDF]
Procedia, Social and Behavioral Sciences, 2014 AbstractThis paper introduces the turbo-roundabout concept and compares its performance with the conventional double-lane roundabout in terms of safety and capacity. While researchers agree as to the safety benefits of turbo-roundabouts, improvement in terms of capacity is still open to discussion. The application of a new calculation method shows that

Geometric design of turbo roundabouts [PDF]
Tehnički vjesnik = Technical gazette, 2017 Turbo roundabouts are lately a more common choice in designing multilane roundabouts. First guidelines for geometric design of this particular roundabout layout were developed by a Dutch Information and Technology Platform CROW in 2008. Soon after, a number of European countries began to develop their own regulations on turbo roundabouts, adjusted to ...

Comparing Performances of Turbo-roundabouts and Double-lane Roundabouts
Modern Applied Science, 2012 Starting from assumptions regarding the arrival process of circulating streams and according to models based on the gap-acceptance theory, the paper is aimed at comparing operational performances between basic turbo-roundabouts and double-lane roundabouts.

An Analysis of Turbo Roundabouts from the Perspective of Sustainability of Road Transportation [PDF]
Sustainability, 2021 The designs of turbo roundabouts vary among countries and undesirable and potentially dangerous situations can occur for vehicles passing through the roundabout. In this article, we focus on an analysis of one of the problems within sustainable road transportation, i.e., the geometric layout of turbo roundabouts.

Capacity of normal and turbo-roundabouts: comparative analysis [PDF]
Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Transport, 2014 While researchers agree as to the safety benefits of turbo-roundabouts, their improvements in terms of capacity and delay remain open to discussion. This is mostly because previous research is based on capacity models that do not fully describe the complex interactions between traffic streams on multi-lane roundabouts.

Traffic Efficiency Evaluation of Elliptical Roundabout Compared with Modern and Turbo Roundabouts Considering Traffic Signal Control [PDF]
Promet (Zagreb), 2017 This paper compared the performance of elliptical roundabout with turbo and modern roundabouts. It considers the effects of increasing the central island radius and speed limit on delay and capacity.

Design Study for the Construction of Turbo Roundabouts under Constrained Site Conditions
Sustainability, 2023 Turbo-roundabouts are one of the most frequently recommended road junction design options when it comes to increasing traffic capacity and traffic safety. This is in particular true of suburban areas, with dominant traffic flow on the main road and moderate traffic flow on the side road.
