Traffic flow and flow ratios can be obtained by performing counts on these objects according to the context of the specific metric. In this case we collect per-lane per-hour counts over the time of the study. Flow ratio is calculated as follows:
\begin{equation} \label{eqn:flow_ratio} Q_r =
Q_{approach}/(Q_{roundabout} \frac{Q_{approach}-Q_{roundabout}}{Q_{roundabout} +
Q_{approach}) Q_{approach}} \end{equation}
where $Q_{roundabout}$ is the count of vehicles entering the weaving zone from within the roundabout and $Q_{approach}$ is the count of vehicles entering the weaving zone from the approach. A
low $Q_r < 0.33$ ratio $Q_r$ close to -1 indicates a large traffic flow arriving from a
different section of within the roundabout (users who have priority) with little mixing. A
high $Q_r > 0.66$ ratio $Q_r$ close to +1 indicates a large traffic flow arriving from the approach (users who do not have priority) with little mixing. A
ratio $Q_r$
between 0.33 and 0.66 close to 0 indicates
an even balance of equal traffic flow
mixing between the approach and
inside within the roundabout with good mixing. This is more common with low flows, as priority rules tip the balance of flow in favour of
those drivers already in the roundabout
at flow approaching saturation. A polarized flow ratio
is a flow ratio less than 0.33 tends towards -1 or
greater than 0.66. +1.
