METHODOLOGY FOR ANALYSING CAPACITY AND LEVEL OF SERVICE FOR INTERSECTION AT BLVD GOCE DELCEV AND BLVD KRSTE PETKOV MISIRKOV - SKOPJE (HCM 2000/2010)

Abstract

The augmentation of motorization level leads us to the need for mobility and demands better infrastructure, in urban and suburban areas. The complexity of this problem is especially notable in urban areas where the space delimitations, functional characteristics and different transportation must be considered. The intersection between boulevard Krste Petkov Misirkov and boulevard Goce Delcev, in Skopje, has been analyzed with the methodology for capacity and level of service, according to HCM. Both boulevards are with three lanes before the intersection, and two additional lanes for left and right turns in the intersection area, and this is one of the most frequent intersections in Skopje. Number of vehicles is determined by measuring the traffic, and those inputs are used to analyze three solutions: the current solution (signalized intersection), roundabout and junction (leveled roundabout). Anyway, this analysis is based on custom measurements within a week
