Roundabouts : an informational guide / by Robinson, Bruce W.(CARDINAL)328719; Bared, Joe Georges.(CARDINAL)314308; United States.Federal Highway Administration.(CARDINAL)139839; Kittelson & Associates.(CARDINAL)320082; Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center.(CARDINAL)286897;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 240-250).Introduction -- Policy considerations -- Planning -- Operation -- Safety -- Geometric design -- Traffic design and landscaping -- System considerations -- Bibliography -- Appendices.Informational guide book;The guidance supplied in this document, Roundabouts: an informational guide, is based on established international and U.S. practices and is supplemented by recent research. The guide is comprehensive in recognition of the diverse needs of transportation professionals and the public for introductory material through design detail, as well as the wide range of potential applications of roundabout intersections. The following topics are addressed: definition of a roundabout and what distinguishes roundabouts from traffic circles; public acceptance and legal issues associated with roundabouts; consideration of all user modes, including heavy vehicles, buses, transit, bicycles, and pedestrians; a methodology for identifying appropriate sites for roundabouts and the range of conditions for which roundabouts offer optimal performance: methodologies for estimating roundabout capacity, delays, and queues with reference to the Highway Capacity Manual; design principles and guidance on safety and geometric design, with reference to applicable national standards such as the AASHTO Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets; guidelines for control features such as signing and pavement markings, with reference to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices; illumination; and landscaping.Performed by Kittelson & Associates, Inc. for the Federal Highway Administration Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center, under contract no.

Evaluating alternative operations strategies to improve travel time reliability / by Kittelson & Associates.(CARDINAL)320082; National Research Council (U.S.).Transportation Research Board.(CARDINAL)141287; Second Strategic Highway Research Program (U.S.)(CARDINAL)307610;
"This report sets out requirements for travel time reliability within a performance-based planning process. The authors present two succinct tables that describe requirements for person and freight trips for reliable transport. A discussion of goals, performance measures, and performance targets follows. Performance measures are presented that pertain to roadway users and agencies. The report examines the cost-effectiveness of different ways to improve travel time reliability. The analysis draws from a wide range of literature, but because few data on outcomes of different strategies to improve travel time reliability are available, assessment of cost-effectiveness is qualitative. Nonetheless, in perusing the tables of information, one can form reasonable conclusions about what large, medium, and small expenditures for different types of operations and capacity improvement projects can produce in terms of a small, modest, or large effect on travel time reliability. The research included an effort to determine the economic value of improvements in travel time reliability by applying options theory from the financial sector. This method is predicated on determining the certainty equivalent of the variability of speed. This innovative approach, briefly summarized in the body of the report and described in an appendix, deserves further exploration despite the lack of consensus from experts about its validity. A prominent part of the report presents a forecast of the year 2030 under alternative assumptions that may influence travel time reliability. The researchers set out three alternative outcomes--optimistic, mediocre, and pessimistic--regarding climate change, economics, and demographics. In addition, they examined a range of technological developments that might affect reliability. To paint a picture of the future, they prepared a concept of operations for the year 2030. Among the various ways to improve travel time reliability, pricing is strongly emphasized by the researchers"--Foreword.Includes bibliographical references (pages 93-102).Executive summary -- Introduction -- Effectiveness of agencies -- Goals and performance targets -- Trends affecting travel time reliability -- Alternative futures -- Operations strategies and treatments to improve travel time reliability -- Concept of operations.

The techniques also assist agencies' ability to evaluate the effects of trucks on other modes of transportation. These techniques are being incorporated into the Highway Capacity Manual, but will be useful to planners and designers working on projects with significant truck traffic."--Publisher description.Research sponsored by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Research and Technology
