Abstract

Transportation has been playing a vital role in the development of human society, whether it is industrial, economical, or even domestic in use. In order to improve the safety of road transport, the addition of traffic warning signs, and signals at major intersections is not enough since these are only temporary. In this study, an analysis in the LOS of the roundabout intersections in the GSSA and LIA in Mesaieed, Qatar was conducted. It aimed to determine whether the assumption of the use roundabout options in the design is adequate to convey traffic throughout the area. After determining the LOS of the roundabouts, an alternative option which was the AWSC Intersection was also analyzed to find out if the alternative can provide a better LOS than the pervious option. However, based from the results, it was determined that the roundabouts still provided a better LOS than the AWSC based from the control delays that have developed on the approach lanes. It was also found out that the roundabouts provided a better LOS due to its location, traffic composition, and volume. However, further analysis and the use of computer softwares in the analysis can also be done in order to further improve this study.
