Mark T. Johnson and Ting-Li Lin’s (Ph.D., Statistics) paper, “The Impact of Geometric Factors on the Capacity of Single-Lane Roundabouts,” received the TRB Roundabout Committee’s Best Paper Award, presented at the 2018 TRB Annual Meeting in Washington, DC. The paper will be published in the 2018 Transportation Research Record (TRR), Journal of the Transportation Research Board.
The paper compared two methods of capacity estimation on US Data — HCM6 gap-acceptance and Kimber’s geometric model. Our statistical analysis showed that the geometric model was more accurate, and produced better predictions than HCM6 model. See the full paper here and watch the paper presentation below.
