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.

The Surrogate Safety Appraisal of the Unconventional Elliptical and Turbo Roundabouts [PDF]
Journal of Advanced Transportation, 2018 Double-lane roundabouts have been created in many European countries over the past few centuries and are now characterized by an unsafe geometric development and by a low sustainability capacity or level.

Using a Microsimulation Traffic Model and the Vehicle-Specific Power Method to Assess Turbo-Roundabouts as Environmentally Sustainable Road Design Solutions [PDF]
Future TransportationThe European Union’s path towards zero carbon dioxide emissions for new passenger vehicles necessitates a transitional period in which conventional vehicles coexist with zero-emission alternatives.

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.

Comparative Analysis of "Turbo", "Reduced-Turbo", "Flower" and "Semi-Turbo" Roundabout
Tehnički vjesnik, 2020 A growing number of studies, presented in scientific and professional literature, point out a poor traffic safety characteristic of "standard" two-lane roundabouts, and lower capacity than expected. These problems are resolved in different ways in different countries; however, the most successful solution has proven to be reducing the number of ...

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.

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.
