Modeling of Effective Parameters for Capacity Prediction at Signalized Intersection Lanes
The Baltic Journal of Road and Bridge Engineering, 2022 Current capacity manuals do not allow comprehensively evaluating negative effects on lane capacity caused by undisciplined vehicle movements and lane utilization, such as failure to obey distance rules, lane blockage caused by roadside parking effect ...

USING A MICROSIMULATION TRAFFIC MODEL TO COMPARE TWO-LANE AND TURBO-ROUNDABOUTS
Electronic Journal of the Faculty of Civil Engineering Osijek-e-GFOS, 2015 Microsimulation traffic models are used to analyze and predict the functionality and safety of traffic networks, especially in critical areas such as intersections. These models have proven particularly useful in analyzing and comparing solutions in the early stages of design.

Speed Reduction Capabilities of Two-Geometry Roundabouts
Applied Sciences, 2023 Several types of modern roundabouts are alternatives to standard ones. They are either in use or at the development stage today. One such intersection is the two-geometry roundabout.

Effects of Crosswalk Location and Pedestrian Volume on Entry Capacity of Roundabouts
International Journal of Transportation Science and Technology, 2013 At roundabout approaches, vehicles must yield to pedestrians who are using crosswalks. The presence of pedestrians using the crosswalk at a roundabout approach thus decreases the entry capacity of the approach. This research used a calibrated microscopic
