STOCHASTIC SIMULATION OF THE TRAFFIC OF AN UNCONTROLLED ROAD INTERSECTION

The paper describes the logic and results of a stochastic simulation model for uncontrolled intersections with poor visibility where the right of way belongs to the driver on the right. The model deals with crossings with and without turning movements. Several runs have been made with realistic input values. Finally, conclusions are drawn and traffic volume warrants are proposed for establishing two way stop/yield controls on uncontrolled crossings.(a) /TRRL/
