About the Cover

The objective of this study is to deal with the effects of driver waiting time, conflicting traffic flow and speed on U-turn critical gaps at median openings without left-turn lanes. Video graphic data of nine conventional mid-block median openings on four and six lane urban roads were assembled. All these sites belong to the three cities of Bhubaneshwar, Rourkela and Ranchi situated in the eastern province of India. A new concept of “Merging Behavior” for U-turns is introduced for the first time to estimate critical gaps at these sites. Driver waiting times were calculated after processing the raw video data in the AVIDEMUX software. Conflicting traffic speed and flow were obtained in a similar manner. Flow was converted to standard passenger car units per hour (PCU/hr.) from vehicles per hour according to Indian traffic norms. The traffic composition was splitted into four motorized vehicular classes for simplicity.
