Abstract

The paper presents an analysis of the impact of road conditions, the distance between vehicles and the number of pedestrians on the roundabout capacity. The study was based on a developed cellular automaton (CA) model and the implemented simulation system. The developed CA model extends the basic traffic model with a braking mechanism. It also reflects the actual technical conditions of vehicles (acceleration and braking depending on the dimensions and functions of the vehicle, as well as the driving at a roundabout of different speeds that are appropriate for the size of the vehicle). The study was based on the example of a two-lane roundabout with four two-lane inlet roads.
