Abstract: This book contains thirteen papers that address intersection safety and control. In general, about 30% of all traffic accidents occur at intersections. The book examines intersection and roundabout operations, and design, with the intent of increasing intersection safety. General topics covered include traffic signal timing, pedestrian behavior, driver perception, red light running, highway capacity models, among others. The table of contents is as follows: Gap acceptance parameters for HCM 2010 roundabout capacity model applications in Italy, by A. Gazzarri, M. T. Martello, A. Pratelli & R. R. Souleyrette; Analysis of traffic capacity and design for the reconstruction of a large roundabout in the city of Zagreb, by I. Legac, H. Pilko & D. Brcic; Developing optimal timing plans for cyclic traffic along arterials using pre-timed controllers, by N. T. Ratrout; Development of a red-light running violation index model for signalized intersections, by S. A. Arhin, E. C. Noel, L. Williams & M. Lakew; An investigation of the variability of start-up lost times and departure headways at signalized intersections in urban areas, by E. Matsoukis & St. Efstathiadis; Performance measures for managing urban traffic signal systems, by D. M. Bullock & C. M. Day; Pedestrian risk perception in signalized street crossings, by N. Eliou, A. Galanis & A. Proios; Formulation of large roundabout capacity under high demand flows, by H. M. N. Al-Madani; Scenario analysis of a network of traffic signals designed with Petri nets, by M. dos Santos Soares & J. Vrancken; Safety effects on pedestrians at urban roundabouts: an overview, by A. Grana; Signal setting in urban areas: a procedure with day-to-day dynamic and stability constraints, by G. E. Cantarella, P. Velona & A. Vitetta; A dynamic and automatic traffic light control system for solving the road congestion problem, by W. Wen & C. L. Yang; and Traffic conflicts at roundabouts: risk analysis under car-following conditions, by G. Guido, A. Vitale & V. Gallelli.
