Critical gap is a crucial factor for capacity estimation and safety evaluation at uncontrolled
mid-block median openings (MBMOs). The U-turning vehicle makes a U-turn when a …

As the number of motor vehicles in China's cities continues to increase, the imbalance
between the capacity that existing urban roads have for construction and the demand for …

Roundabouts are among the widely used traffic control infrastructures, which function by
defining priorities for various entry approaches and circulating traffic. In many develo** …

Median openings are provided in multilane divided roads to enable U-turns. The atypical
conditions prevailing in India motivated this study for the development of a methodology for …

The present study was carried out to understand the lateral width for merging (LWM)
characteristics and for develo** LWM prediction models for U-turning vehicles. Data were …

Critical gap has been estimated to investigate the gap acceptance characteristics of U-
turning vehicles at mid-block median opening (MBMO) because proper modeling of gap …

The critical gap is typically used to determine the capacity at unsignalized intersections. A
few studies have been carried out on the estimation of the U-turn critical gap at uncontrolled …

The paper proposes a parameter named as lateral merging position (LMP) to understand
the placement characterises of U-turning vehicle at mid-block median opening (MBMO) in …

The present study is carried out to comprehend the lateral placement characteristics of U-
turning vehicle by collecting field data from 11 different median openings across India …

This study quantifies LOS ranges for traffic movement at uncontrolled median openings
using 'area occupancy'as a measure of effectiveness. The Highway Capacity Manual is …
