Evaluation of Different Alternatives for the Intersection of Erzincan Province Trainning and Research Hospital with Microsimulation Modelling

While the number of registered vehicles in Erzincan is approximately 49,000 in 2015, this figure has increased to 59.000 by 2018. The city, which has a population of 139,000, has been one of the cities with the highest population / vehicle . In the current traffic systems, the delay times increased, the densities increased and the blockages started to show. As a result of increasing number of vehicles and transportation demands, there has been a need to improve the intersection and existing access roads throughout the city. In the light of this information; Especially, the intersection of Erzincan Mengücek Gazi Training and Research Hospital with 500 bed capacity was taken into consideration. During the peak periods, 676 vehicle roadside parking spaces were used in the hospital, which is the center of attraction of the city. Expectations and needs of the users were put forward and the intersections were simulated with the Microscopic Simulation Method using AIMSUN program. The most appropriate intersection type has been determined by taking into consideration the factors such as delay, travel time, and stop time and applicability.
