Turbo Roundabouts: Design, Capacity, and Comparison With Alternative Types of Roundabouts

2021
Introduction. In turbo roundabouts traffic entry, exit, and circulatory lanes are physically delimited by kerbs (see Fig. 1A). This implies a lowerNnumber of potentially conflicting points (Fig. 1B) between vehicle trajectories than conventional roundabouts (Fortuijn, 2009). By way of an example, in a turbo roundabout with four arms and two circulatory

Comparative Analysis of Compact Multilane Roundabouts and Turbo-Roundabouts

Journal of Transportation Engineering, 2010
This paper presents a comparative analysis of the traffic performances of turbo-roundabouts and roundabouts in terms of capacity and delays. We chose to use a recent German procedure for roundabouts included in “Kreisel” software as our calculation procedure to determine the capacity of turbo-roundabouts.

Modern suburban roundabouts in Croatia - flower and turbo roundabouts

Scientific Journal of Civil Engineering, 2020
Turboroundabouts are specially designed multilane roundabouts with spiral circulatory roadway and physically separated traffic lanes. This roundabout layout was developed in the late nineties of the last century with the aim of increasing the traffic safety and capacity at classic multi-lane roundabouts.

Turbo 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.

Calculation of Turbo-Roundabouts with Slip Lanes

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2013
A turbo roundabout is a particular type of roundabout where all lanes are bounded by traffic signs and by non-mountable curbs installed at entering and circulating lanes. Turbo roundabouts also have a very particular shape to accomplish the splitting of traffic streams and to prevent cars weaving through.

Capacity Increase through connectivity for the i-Roundabout and i-Turbo roundabout

2020 Forum on Integrated and Sustainable Transportation Systems (FISTS), 2020
Is a roundabout still a good solution in the era where ‘intelligent’ intersection control using vehicle connection (i-TLC), is in upswing? To answer this question, the capacity of ‘i-roundabouts’, where the infrastructure communicates with the vehicles (I2V), is determined analytically.

Performance Evaluation of Basic Turbo Roundabouts as an Alternative to Conventional Double-Lane Roundabouts

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2021
Since their introduction in the late 1990s, basic turbo roundabouts have made a great success in several European countries. Researchers, however, have been unable to reach a general consensus on the operational performance advantages and benefits derived from such a novel design of multi-lane roundabouts, as compared with conventional double-lane ...

Turbo Roundabout Usage in Lieu of Conventional Roundabouts for the Jordanian Traffic Conditions

International Journal of Civil Engineering, 2018
The main objective of this study is to check the possibility of upgrading at-grade roundabouts to Turbo roundabouts considering the Jordanian driving conditions. It is also to check how such upgrade is going to affect performance measures of the studied areas including safety, capacity, queue length, delay, and level of service (LOS).
