CAPACITY OF UNSIGNALIZED URBAN JUNCTIONS

New comprehensive empirical and simulation studies of traffic operation of major/minor priority junctions gave the basis for development of capacity estimation models, including specificity of operation in urban areas. Obtained results allowed construction of a new capacity calculation method and gave the basis for its practical implementation. Presented in the paper are selected results of identification of critical gaps and capacities of lower rank movements and capacities of major road approaches at various traffic lane configurations.
