\subsection{Exploratory Analysis}
Overall, speed is
found to be normally distributed at each site for each movement profile. Comparing hourly flows versus speed, it is clear that increased traffic has a significant effect on speed, as illustrated in Figure~\ref{fig:hourly_speed}. However, it can also be seen that the Swedish sites have significantly reduced speed, even after controlling for effects of
congestion. This figure congestion (traffic flow rate). Figure~\ref{fig:hourly_speed} also demonstrates that
the selected sites have, from
one hour to
hour, a the next, roughly comparable traffic
demand. demand patterns, although variation is present from hour to hour at the same site (as is expected).
Given that the recorded speeds
seem to vary based on movement types, speed
is further broken down into measures are plotted continously for each of the
following four movement profiles
\citep[proposed \citep[as proposed and first demonstrated in][]{St_Aubin_2013b}:
\begin{enumerate}
\item vehicles travelling through the merging zone on the roundabout ring exclusively
...
\item vehicles entering and exiting the roundabout via an approach lane and the next exit lane
\end{enumerate}
For example, a right turn at
the a roundabout
crosses only a single merging zone and involves
a single movement iv) only, whereas a through movement
corresponds at the same intersection requires crossing two successive merging zones corresponding to
the movement iii) followed by movement ii).
A In the same way, a left turn
at a roundabout corresponds to movement iii) followed by one movement i), and finally one movement ii). Finally, a U-turn or a turn at a roundabout with more than four approaches will follow movement iii) followed by multiple movements i), and finally one movement ii).
The speed of road users travelling along these profiles is illustrated in Figures~\ref{fig:speed_profile_qc} and \ref{fig:speed_profile_se}. A similar overall reduction is noted at the Swedish sites, although
it this discrepancy is
found to be most pronounced for movement type
iv) iv).
