A Review on Performance Analysis of Signalized Roundabout using Micro-Simulation Technique

Abstract: As a result of urbanization, traffic in an urban area also at its extreme. Roundabout results in a nice solution for smooth movement when flows are balanced but it can have operational difficulties when there are increased flows. The use of micro-simulation tools for performance analysis emerges as an effective solution to understand and modelling vehicle and driver behaviours. It is needed to provide some measures to reduce queue length, travel time and delay at signalized complex roundabout. Different alternatives can be modelled and compared in PTV VISSIM. The main aim of the study is to provide an optimal solution with the help of simulation techniques to ultimately enhance roundabout performance. The present article shows the methodology adopted by different authors to simulate the traffic condition and the provision of the different alternative strategies for enhancing performance. Thereby conclusion was made based on different studies.
