Multileg roundabout intersections are widely used in urban areas worldwide. However, its traffic organization and signal control are very complicated in the case of large traffic flow, and the signal optimization methods for conventional intersections are not suitable for applying directly to roundabouts due to the complexity of the operating process. Therefore, many scholars have focused on dedicated signal timing schemes for roundabouts, especially through tuning key parameters such as signal cycle and green light time. However, research and applications regarding variable phases at roundabouts are quite rare. To address this gap, this paper analyzes the traffic flow characteristics and capacity of multileg roundabouts and proposed a combined phase design model to achieve the maximum utilization of road capacity at roundabouts, which can generate the optimal phase scheme based on real-time traffic data. The feasibility of the combined phase design model is verified by a case study in Jinhua, China. The results indicate that the proposed combined phase design model can improve the applicability of actuated signal control and the reasonableness of signal timing for multileg roundabouts and thus further improve the roundabout efficiency.
