Efficiency of Roundabouts as Compared to Traffic Light Controlled Intersections in Urban Road Networks
Keywords:
Traffic flow, Roundabout, Throughput, Multi-stream Minimum Acceptable Space,, Cellular AutomataAbstract
Evaluating the performance of a multi-lane intersection is important to identify the best scheme as congestion is becoming a worldwide serious problem. A Multi-stream Minimum Acceptable Space (MMAS) Cellular Automata (CA) model is used for the simulation of vehicular traffic at double-lane roundabouts and cross intersection. Comparison is made between roundabouts with traffic light and without traffic light and signalized intersections on the basis of their performance to simplify traffic congestion. Computer simulations are used to propose critical arrival rates to separate between the three mentioned modes to decrease congestion at intersection points.
