The Passenger Car Equivalent Factors for Heavy Vehicles on Turbo Roundabouts
Frontiers in Built Environment, 2019 The presence of heavy and slower vehicles within the traffic stream significantly reduces traffic capacity. This reduction increases with the higher participation of heavy vehicles in the stream, which, compared to passenger cars, move at a lower speed ...

Turbo-roundabouts vs Roundabouts Performance Level
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
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

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.

International Journal of Transportation Science and TechnologyThis article presents a methodology to estimate the entry capacity (EC) and total capacity (TC) of basic turbo roundabouts under partial and fully connected and autonomous vehicle (CAV) environments. EC calculations are partially based on capacity models

Problems of ensuring traffic flow on a Basic turbo roundabout with non-standard curvilinear entries (a case study) [PDF]
Przegląd Komunikacyjny, 2023 : With ever-increasing motorisation and the desire for greater traffic safety, conventional roundabouts and turbo roundabouts are being designed. Turbo roundabouts provide greater traffic safety than conventional roundabouts due to the segregation of ...

THE APPLICATION OF HCM 2010 IN THE DETERMINATION OF CAPACITY OF TRAFFIC LANES AT TURBO ROUNDABOUT ENTRIES [PDF]
Transport Problems, 2016 The main aim of this study was to verify whether it is possible to utilize the model contained in the HCM 2010 methodology for evaluation of traffic capacity of the lanes at the entries to turbo roundabouts in Poland. The models contained in the HCM 2010

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.

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 ...

A CASE STUDY ANALYSIS OF ROUNDABOUTS ENTRY CAPACITY LOCALISED ON ONE OF THE MAIN ROAD IN SOSNOWIEC CITY (POLAND) [PDF]
Scientific Journal of Silesian University of Technology. Series Transport, 2019 This paper is a case study, which among other things includes the analysis of the three roundabouts entry capacity: a turbo- and two spiralroundabouts. These intersections are located in one of the main road localised in Sosnowiec city (Poland).
