EnglishIn the paper, a choice criterion between fl ower roundabouts and double-lane roundabouts is proposed, focusing on operational benefi ts that can derive from one scheme over the other, and outlining a general framework for benefi t-cost analysis. In order to assess operational benefi ts of innovative roundabouts over modern roundabouts, a comparative analysis was made. Capacity was estimated using gap-acceptance models. In detail, assuming the dichotomic shifted negative exponential distribution to model headways in circulating streams, the Hagring formula was adjusted to obtain entry capacity estimations at roundabout approaches where entering vehicles face one or two confl icting fl ows. Based on the control delay, the suitability domains and indifference areas were constructed. Thus, a sensitivity analysis to changes in traffi c demand for operational benefi ts of fl ower roundabouts over double-lane roundabouts was carried out and discussed. At last, evidence for new installations and conversion of existing roundabouts can be found

| Abstract: | In the paper, a choice criterion between fl ower roundabouts and double-lane roundabouts is proposed, focusing on operational benefi ts that can derive from one scheme over the other, and outlining a general framework for benefi t-cost analysis. In order to assess operational benefi ts of innovative roundabouts over modern roundabouts, a comparative analysis was made. Capacity was estimated using gap-acceptance models. In detail, assuming the dichotomic shifted negative exponential distribution to model headways in circulating streams, the Hagring formula was adjusted to obtain entry capacity estimations at roundabout approaches where entering vehicles face one or two confl icting fl ows. Based on the control delay, the suitability domains and indifference areas were constructed. Thus, a sensitivity analysis to changes in traffi c demand for operational benefi ts of fl ower roundabouts over double-lane roundabouts was carried out and discussed. At last, evidence for new installations and conversion of existing roundabouts can be found |
