\subsection{Analysis \subsection{Merging Zone}
At each Swedish roundabout, two cameras were positioned in such a way to cover the entire roundabout completely, and to cover at least one merging zone in each camera completely. The use of
analysis the merging zones as
units the unit of
study instead study---instead of roundabouts as a
whole is whole---is that, while many factors such as land use are shared, many more are not. This includes flows and flow ratios especially, but may also include geometric factors such as lane configuration, signalisation, presence of a crosswalk, approach angle, etc. which can vary from one merging zone to the next even within the same roundabout \cite{St_Aubin_2013b}. Studying merging zones individually also better
encapsulated encapsulates the microscopic nature of the data being collected and analysed: roundabouts are often large enough for road user interactions on different sides of the roundabout to occur
independently. independently \citep[this is especially true if center islands obstruct view][]{Jensen_2014}.
Table~\ref{tab:analysis_zones} lists a summary of the
sites, the analysis merging zones at each
roundabout studied and the geometric and land use characteristics of
each. each, as well as a summary of historical accident data at each roundabout.

\subsection{Beahavoural Measures}
\begin{itemize}
\item Approach The parameters of interest for this particular study are speed
(exiting)
\item Approach (and speed
(continuing)
\item Conflicting speed (exiting)
\item Conflicting speed (continuing)
\item Gap profiles), time-to-collision (TTC) \citep{Hayward_1971}, and yielding post-encroachment time
\item Conflicts (constant velocity time-to-collision)
\end{itemize} (yPET), an ordinary PET measure \citep{allen1978analysis} measured specifically at the yield line. Speed and yPET are measured directly from the road user trajectories as they occur.
TTC requires the modeling of potential collisions. Typically, potential collisions are defined as collision courses of constant velocity, i.e. ``with movement remaining unchanged'' \citep{Amundsen_1977}. Given the non-linear environment of roundabouts, a more sophisticated motion prediction collision course model is needed. For this work, the discretised motion pattern developped specifically as a result of motion prediction issues in roundabouts \citep{St_Aubin_2014} is used.
