This book offers a collection of guidelines that will be particularly useful to those making
decisions concerning roundabouts as safe and modern solutions in transport networks and
systems. The decision-making support systems described here will interest those who face the
challenge of finding solutions to problems concerning modern transport systems on a daily
basis. Consequently the book is chiefly intended for local authorities involved in planning
and preparing development strategies for specific transport-related issues (in both urban and
regional contexts) as well as for representatives of business and industry who are directly
engaged in the implementation of traffic engineering solutions. The guidelines provided in the
respective chapters help to address the given problem soundly and to simplify the selection of
an appropriate strategy. The topics covered include traffic conditions and the performance of
single-lane two-lane and turbo roundabouts road traffic safety analysis analysis of road
traffic safety improvements surrogate safety measures at roundabouts analysis of pedestrian
behavior at pedestrian crossings with public transport vehicles methods for assessing vehicle
motion trajectory at single-lane roundabouts using visual techniques making compact two-lane
roundabouts effective for vulnerable road users concepts for wireless electric vehicle
charging near roundabouts work zones and temporary traffic control at roundabouts. Since the
book also considers new approaches to theoretical models (including modeling roundabout
capacity models of critical gaps and follow-up headways for turbo roundabouts and estimating
roundabout delay while taking into account pedestrian impact) it will also appeal to
researchers and scientists studying these problems. The book gathers selected papers presented
at the 15th Scientific and Technical Conference ¿Transport Systems. Theory and Practice¿
organized by the Department of Transport Systems and Traffic Engineering Silesian University
of Technology in Katowice Poland on September 17¿19 2018.
