Faculty of Engineering / University of Kerbala has discussed simulation traffic to change a roundabout to an intersection with a traffic light.
The study, presented by Ali Fadlallah Hussain, aims at evaluating performance of some roundabouts in Karbala Governorate on their current status and evaluating them after converting them into roundabouts and intersections with light signals.
The study concludes that performance of some roundabouts improved when they are converted to roundabouts and intersections with light signals, as delay rate decreased in roundabouts with signals and intersections with light signals.
The thesis recommends development of a comprehensive plan for development of traffic system in Karbala.
