Description of the research topic:
Besides geometric design it is generally accepted that the presenceof pedestrians and bicycles affect the capacity of roundabouts. The capacity calculation of urban roundabouts varies from country to country, some consider crossing pedestrians and/or bicycles, and some do not. The range of conflicting situations to be considered is also a question as they can come in several forms.
Researchers have already investigated how the introduction of autonomous vehicles (AV) could change the operational and safety parameters at roundabouts, however less or little attention has been paid to how the above detailed interactions with AVs will exert an influence on capacity.
The capacity calculation prescribed in the current Hungarian guideline already has several limitations. The aim of this research topic is therefore 1) to update the already existing capacity calculation methods of roundabouts considering all road users and 2) to simulate how this improved method would be effected by AVs at various penetration rates.
