Abstract
This study deals with the operational efficiency of roundabout. The roundabouts generally have such the merits as high capacity, delay reduction, safety improvement, and others. Circular intersection can be divided into the rotary and roundabout according to travelling priority. The objective of this study is to comparatively analyze the operational efficiency of rotary and roundabout by scenario. In pursuing the above, this study gives the particular attentions to developing 256 scenarios according to the directional and entering traffic volume and analyzing the delay using VISSIM. The main results are as follows. First, the average delay of rotary was analyzed to be 1.56-8.74 times of roundabout. Second, the operational efficiencies of rotary and roundabout were analyzed to be better in the case of bigger differences in the traffic volumes between the main and minor roads. Third, the average delay of the 4-legged was evaluated to be 1.77-11.70 times of 3-legged intersection. Finally, 2-lane intersection (3-legged & 4-legged) was analyzed to be 2.02-2.23 times of 1-lane intersection.
