Monograph

This issue contains 7 papers concerned with roundabouts. Specific topics addressed include: driver yielding behavior to pedestrians at two-lane roundabout approaches; emissions estimation at multilane roundabouts; safety effects of converting intersections to roundabouts; predicting capacity for roundabouts based on percentages of trucks in entry and circulating flows; the influence of sight distance on crash rates and operating speeds at low-volume single-lane roundabouts; roundabout critical headway measurement; and using computer vision data for detailed driver behavior analysis and trajectory interpretation at roundabouts.
