INTRODUCTION
Background
• Indo- HCM 2017 defines a roundabout as a specialized form of
at-grade intersection where vehicles from the converging arms are
forced to move round a central island in one direction in an
orderly and regimented manner and move/weave out of the
roundabout into their desired direction
Definitions
• The basic definitions and terminologies associated with the
roundabouts and determination of its capacity

6th IOE Graduate Conference, May 2019 3


INTRODUCTION
Background
Entry Flow: The traffic inflow from an approach to a roundabout.
Conflicting Circulating flow: The volume of traffic that is
circulating in the non-weaving section and is conflicting with the
entry traffic at the intersection from different approaches accounted
for in a classified manner for all the approaches.
Headway: It is the time between two following vehicles and is
measured from the first vehicle’s front bumper to the following
vehicle’s front bumper.
Gap: A gap is defined as the time span between two consecutive
circulating vehicles that create conflict with an entering vehicle. The
described time span is measured only when the entering driver is at
the yield line when the gap begins.
6th IOE Graduate Conference, May 2019 4
INTRODUCTION
Background
Critical Gap: Critical gap is defined as the minimum headway in the
circulating flow when an entering vehicle can safely enter a
roundabout, assuming all entering drivers are consistent .
Follow-up Time: Follow-up time is defined as the time span
between two queued vehicles entering the circulating stream in the
same gap. The follow-up time is the headway between the vehicles
entering.
Capacity estimation: Several models are being used to estimate the
capacity of roundabouts. Almost all of them can be grouped under
three distinct families, viz.
– weaving maneuver-based models,
– gap-acceptance-based models, and
– regression models based on traffic and geometric data.
6th IOE Graduate Conference, May 2019 5
INTRODUCTION
Background
Weaving maneuver based Model
• The initial formula for the capacity estimation of a traffic rotary
was given by Wardrop (1957).

• IRC-65 (1976) outlines the method for the design of a rotary. This
is a weaving maneuver-based model based on Wardrop’s equation.

• Both of the above-mentioned models basically provide estimation


of the capacity of weaving section.

6th IOE Graduate Conference, May 2019 6


INTRODUCTION
• Background
Gap Acceptance Based models
These models are based on the availability of gaps to vehicles and
the circulating traffic flow around the central island. The variables
mostly used are critical gaps, circulating traffic flows, headways, and
follow-up times. Most prominent models includes

• HCM -2010 based model


• Indo HCM 2017 based model

6th IOE Graduate Conference, May 2019 7


INTRODUCTION
• Background
Regression based models
Regression based models are based on the entry flow, circulating
traffic flow around the roundabouts and the geometrical parameters
like entry width, diameter of central island , approach width etc.
Some methods that has been developed are:
– TRRL (UK) linear regression model
– Jordanian Model
– Malaysian Model
– Indian Models

6th IOE Graduate Conference, May 2019 8


INTRODUCTION
Background
• With emergence of offside priority rule, in which, the circulating
traffic is given priority over the entering vehicles, capacity
estimates started to focus on entry capacity of approaches rather
than that of the weaving section.
• Gap Acceptance models are simpler as far as the number of
variables is concerned. But the estimation of these variables is
tedious. Moreover, it is difficult to estimate critical gaps and
follow-up-times at different locations and in different cities
because these are traffic and location specific. Such models are
useful when behavior of the driver is completely known.

6th IOE Graduate Conference, May 2019 9


INTRODUCTION
Hence , a simpler regression based models might be more useful in
resource constraint countries like Nepal where driver behavior is not
known completely.
Research Questions
• What is the Appropriate Regression Model for estimation of Entry
Capacity of a Roundabout in Nepalese Conditions?

Research Objectives
• To determine the regression model to estimate entry capacity of a
roundabout in Nepalese conditions

6th IOE Graduate Conference, May 2019 10


INTRODUCTION
Limitations
• The entry flow in roundabout is affected by Pedestrian flow in the
crosswalks near the roundabout. The pedestrian flow has been
discarded in the analysis as the pedestrian flow in these selected
roundabout did not offer much hindrance to the entry of the
vehicles.

• Regression model
Another modeling approach has been regression based. In developing
countries, Al-Masaeid and Faddah (1997) developed a non-linear
regression model for estimating roundabout entry capacity based on
the data collected from 10 roundabouts in Jordan.

Model was a function of entry width, circulating roadway width,


diameter of the Central Island, circulating traffic volume, and
distance between the entry and its near exit.

Regression model
Chik, et al (2004) identified the correlation between the circulating
traffic flow, entry flow, and the entry width by using statistical
analysis on roundabouts in Malaysia. The entry flows for both single-
and multi-lane entries were found to be highly dependent on the
circulating traffic flows. The relationship between the entry and
circulating traffic flow, both for the single- and multi-lane circulation
area, were conceived as linear regression function and are given as
follows:

LITERATURE REVIEW
Regression model
Prakash (2010) suggested an empirical equation for estimating entry
capacity of roundabouts based on circulating traffic flow and
geometric parameters (central island diameter, number of entry lanes,
and number of circulating lanes) of the roundabouts in India. It was
found that number of entry lanes and diameter of Central Island
positively affected the entry capacity, while circulating traffic flow
and number of circulating lanes had a negative effect. Linear
regression was performed to have a relationship between these
parameters and the entry capacity, which is given by equation.

6th IOE Graduate Conference, May 2019 28


METHODOLOGY
Traffic survey
The Volumetric flow of the vehicles entering the rotary has been
collected for every minute during peak period in roundabouts and
also the circulating flow entering the vehicles has been collected
manually from the recording between 9:00 A.M to 12 P.M.
The recorded film was played on the computer screen to extract the
desired information. To make the analysis significant, the vehicles
were divided into four different categories as motorized two-wheeler
(2W), motorized three-wheeler (3W), small car (SC) or standard car,
and heavy vehicle (HV). The volumetric data so obtained in a minute
is then summed for a 15 min period to calculate (V15) which is then
extrapolated to hourly volume for comparison purposes.

6th IOE Graduate Conference, May 2019 29


METHODOLOGY
• The other (V15) volume data (V15) is then obtained by
summing up the data of 16 min to 30 min time period, in the
similar fashion (V15) data is obtained from summing up the
31 min to 45 min time period.
• The PCU values for converting the heterogeneous traffic into
a homogeneous one are taken from Nepal Urban Road
Standard 2076. For conversion into PCU, the equivalence
factors for two wheelers 0.25 PCU, autos are 1.0 PCU and
buses and Heavy Vehicles (HV) are assessed as 3 PCU

6th IOE Graduate Conference, May 2019 30


METHODOLOGY
In this study, multivariate regression analysis is conducted to develop
a general entry capacity relation considering entry width, circulating
roadway width, diameter of the Central Island, circulating traffic
volume, entry width, its exit width etc. Geometric variables that had
a weak effect to the model were rejected later from the analysis.

Non-linear regression analysis was performed using 18 hrs. of hourly volume data
of entry flow, circulating flow and other geometrical parameters of each
approaches. From the analysis considering all the variables, it was seen that
circulating width and entry width were non-significant. So, the regression analysis
was performed excluding these variables. The results of the non-linear regression
analysis is shown in the following table.

Non Linear Regression Analysis Outside Valley

•Since, the circulating flow conflicts the entry flow, as the circulating flow increase
hindrance to entry flow increases, entry flow decreases hence the negative
relationship is justified. Also, as approach width is more, more width is available
for vehicles to enter, positive sign is also justified. Similarly, the sign of the
diameter D and Exit width is also justified in the equation.

• The analysis of variance is showed in the Table 4. 4 in which F-
value is 91.4 and significance F-value as 1.64E-25 indicating that
the model is good. The F-value and low significance F- value
indicates that probability of the model being wrong is very low i.e.
the probability that all the coefficients in our regression output are
actually zero.
• The linear model parameters and their respective coefficients can
be obtained. The individual P-value of the parameters are
significantly low well within the confidence limit of 5%,
indicating that the selected variables are indeed a good choice of
model parameter. Hence, a linear model can be formulated from

•It can be seen that since the circulating flow conflicts the entry flow, as the

Conclusion and Recommendations
The volumetric count of the entry flows and the circulating flow along with the
geometrical features of the roundabout was used to formulate and empirical
approach to estimate the entry capacity of the roundabouts based on linear and
non-linear regression applicable to heterogeneous traffic conditions of Nepal.
From the analysis following conclusions were drawn:

•The model developed showed that both circulating traffic flow and geometrical
parameters have significant effect on the entry capacity. Hence, models
considering both factors are appropriate for traffic conditions like that of
Nepal.The model developed for the entry capacity was seen to be significantly
affected by the geometrical parameters like circulating traffic, central island
diameter, approach width and exit width.

•Linear model outputs were seen more closely to the field observations than non-
linear models for roundabouts outside valley.

6th IOE Graduate Conference, May 2019 48


Recommendations
• This study assumes pedestrian flow does not affect the flow in the
roundabouts considerably and the effect of the unwanted parking, stops by the
vehicles for picking up the passengers are very low. Hence a study
incorporating the pedestrian effect is likely to provide a further refined model
for the roundabouts that are affected by heavy pedestrian flow.
• Similarly, the study also assumes the flow in the roundabout is not
interrupted by unwanted bus stops and unauthorized parking. Studying it
effects on the entry flow is also fruitful for refinement of the model. Finally,
in this study the PCU used is based on the Nepal Urban Road Standard 2076
which is constant rather than Dynamic PCU as suggested in the Indo-HCM.
• The developed model hence can be used to predict entry capacity of approach
of four-legged roundabout based on circulating flow and geometrical features
for mix traffic conditions with less hindrance to traffic flow in roundabouts
from external factors like pedestrians, unwanted stops near roundabout etc.
