In light of the growing traffic demand and the futility of the conventional solutions, many states have been considering alternative intersection designs. Researchers have demonstrated the benefits of several unconventional intersection designs and their implementation at different sites throughout the United States and abroad have delivered significant improvement in traffic compared to the conventional intersections. A signalized and un-signalized roundabout, a Continuous Flow Intersection, and a Parallel Flow Intersection have been evaluated and compared in this research as viable alternatives to the traditional single intersection. Using micro-simulation platforms, AIMSUN 6.0 and VISSIM 5.10, models of each intersection are evaluated for low, medium, and high entrance volumes. The analysis revealed that the Roundabout performs better at low entering volumes while the Continuous flow yields better results at high volumes. / by Steve Chery. / Thesis (M.S.C.S.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2010. / Includes bibliography. / Electronic reproduction.

Thesis (M. Arch.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1981. / MICROFICHE COPY AVAILABLE IN ARCHIVES AND ROTCH. / Includes bibliographical references (p. 79-81). / The vitality felt in proceeding through a marketplace or in walking through the streets of some towns and cities can sensitize one to the particular potential a street can have as a place for informal conversation, sitting, watching or gathering collectively - an alternative setting to the social atmosphere that exists within offices or classrooms. The range of outdoor spaces that can be found are organized according to principles which people have agreed upon formally or informally over time. Streets with this level of definition are easy to stay in, move ones' chair or wares out into or carry on 'with business' in. Although passage through is often its most important function, a successful street also offers a clarity of territorial definition with 'eddies,' boundaries and backs that allow a range of other activities to occur. In its best sense, one could feel that one is moving through a collection of outdoor rooms of various enclosure, each related in some sense to both the public path and to the less public spaces beyond. On a university campus, where exposure and discourse are encouraged, a collective backbone of this nature would be an asset, both as an outlet within the university and as a way of tying the university to the surrounding community. The intention of this thesis is two-fold; first to explore street as place and "linkage" in the context of site and building edge; and second, to suggest alternatives for the MIT West Campus. / by Donna Anne Barbaro. / M.Arch.
