Abstract

The current research utilizes the simulation model U-SIM to investigate the performance of range of analysis parameters at median U-turn sites in Baghdad City. The study subjects the U-SIM model to hypothetical sets of input parameters, and monitoring the effect of these parameters on the performance of the model through the selected measures of effectiveness.
The studied parameters were:
Gap-acceptance behavior.
Gap-forcing behavior.
Effect of opposing and advancing turning flow.
Difference between left turn and U-turn behavior.
Median storage lanes.
The effect of each above parameter will be studied and discussed with the aid of the figures and tables. Finally, conclusions and recommendations are drawn
