Abstract
Editorial: Calculation of Passenger Car Equivalents at Roundabouts

Specialty section: This article was submitted to Transportation and Transit Systems, a section of the journal Frontiers in Built Environment
The effect of heavy vehicles on traffic operations has historically been accounted for through the use of Passenger Car Equivalents (PCEs), by which a mixed fleet of vehicles can be transformed into a fleet of equivalent passenger cars and employed to perform the analysis of capacity and the determination of the level-of-service of roads and intersections
The calculation of passenger car equivalents for heavy vehicles represents a starting point for the operational analysis of road entities and other traffic management applications, very few studies have looked at the effect of heavy vehicles on traffic operations at roundabouts
