Passenger Car Unit (PCU) for Roundabout

The PCU of any vehicle is a function of vehicular dimensions and speed of the
vehicle only, in
case of roundabouts, PCU is also dependent upon turning behaviour and conflicts.
The PCU
value of different modes is dynamic in nature and also depends upon size of
roundabout,
share of heavy vehicles and overall traffic flow at intersection.
Based on the static and dynamic characteristics, the vehicles in an urban
intersection can be
classified as two wheelers, three wheelers, big cars, small cars, Light Commercial
Vehicles
(LCVs), trucks, buses, bicycles etc. The Passenger Car Units for different types of
vehicles,
based on five important parameters namely traffic flow, headway, conflict angle of
vehicles
negotiating the roundabout, vehicular speed and composition of traffic have been
given in

This table refereed by IRC 65 2017 (Table 5.2)

MANUAL CALCULATION
Parameters taken from peak survey are used in the calculation
of capacity for passenger car unit.
The peak periods at the rotary are 9.30 am to 10.30 am the pcu /hr for the
respective vehicles are been calculated based upon the IRC PCU units, the
calculated values are in
