Abstract

In Switzerland, roundabouts enjoy a large and growing popularity. As a self-organizing system, they replace more and more the traditional traffic light systems. This article focuses on the modeling and simulation of a double tracked roundabout near Lucerne (Switzerland). The simulation results were used for decision purposes; in order to find out whether a single or double tracked roundabout should be used there. All simulations were done with the simulation language SIMSCRIPT II.5.
