Gap-acceptance theory has been used widely for estimation of capacity at unsignalised roundabouts and two-way sign-controlled intersections. This paper discusses the use of the gap-acceptance method beyond modelling capacity. The author has developed gap acceptance capacity and performance models by signal analogy, including the estimation of delay, queue length and stop rates for roundabouts and other unsignalised intersections. These models have been implemented in the SIDRA INTERSECTION software which has been in extensive use in traffic engineering practice. This paper will describe the basic method that uses gap acceptance cycles for modelling performance measures with a focus on the modelling of queue length at roundabouts. A simple single-lane roundabout example is given to explain important aspects of modelling the queue length.
