A CAPACITY ANALYSIS PROCEDURE FOR UNSIGNALIZED INTERSECTIONS IN SWITZERLAND

J Tan, F Tufo

Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

Unsignalized intersections are widely used in Switzerland, especially where traffic volumes are relatively low. This paper presents a capacity analysis procedure for unsignalized intersections, including yield- or stop-controlled intersections and roundabouts. A method of estimating queue length and delays that accounts for traffic variations at unsiganlized intersections is also proposed. Roundabout Operations Analysis Program (ROAP), a software program for analyzing roundabout capacity, queues, and delays is presented, and some aspects of development of unsignalized intersection design are briefly discussed.
