Gap-acceptance behavior characteristics of drivers (values of tc, tf and tmin) were considered in both capacity models according to the Slovak technical regulations [4]. For these simulation parameters, the global capacity of a classical three-lane roundabout equals 5387 pae/h. Note that a knee type roundabout is a regular roundabout, except that it includes a bypass lane. CROW. 0000258962 00000 n Differently from the capacity model proposed in, Mauro and Branco adapted to turbo-roundabouts the Brilon capacity model, based on the theory of the gap-acceptance; moreover, for comparing compact multilane roundabouts and turbo-roundabouts, they particularized the Brilon capacity model assuming the same number of entering and circulating lanes (setting them equal to 1).
