Evaluation of the Safety Performance of Turbo Roundabouts by Means of a Potential Accident Rate Mode
The Baltic Journal of Road and Bridge Engineering, 2015 Turbo roundabouts are a particular road intersection layout, designed to increase the safety of double-lane roundabouts, while maintaining their excellent capacity.

Geometric design of turbo roundabouts
Tehnicki 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.

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2009 The Dutch turbo roundabout is characterized by predictable lane use and radial connecting entries. To calculate the capacity, in 1997 the multilane roundabout explorer was developed by modification of the capacity model of Bovy, which considered both separated lanes and pseudoconflict.

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.

Determinants of crash numbers and constellations at turbo roundabouts in Germany
Traffic Safety ResearchTurbo roundabouts are a relatively new design. Thus far, research on their safety has focused on comparisons with other types of intersection and the effects of physical lane dividers.

Microsimulation-based passenger car equivalents for heavy vehicles driving turbo-roundabouts [PDF]
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.
