TY - JOUR PY - 1980// TI - Simulation of road traffic conflicts at T-junctions JO - Simulation A1 - Darzentas, J. A1 - Cooper, Dale F. A1 - Storr, P. A. A1 - McDowell, M. R. C. SP - 155 EP - 164 VL - 34 IS - 5 N2 - This paper describes an event-stepping (discrete- event) simulation model of a nonurban T-junction. The model is intended for investigating the risk of traffic accidents at such junctions, using a version of the traffic-conflict technique. The model uses empirical data and predicts the number and severity of conflicts as a function of various traffic and behavioural parameters. Some applications of the model are outlined. The traffic-handling capacity of the junction and delays at it are not considered.
