In this paper, a simulation model of traffic at major/minor priority junctions is described. It has been used as a basic tool for the development of a practical method of capacity calculation. Some results of traffic performance studies at major/minor priority intersections conducted with the use of the described model are presented in the paper. The objective of the studies was the assessment of the effects of traffic restraints and platooning and its non-stationarity on capacity and traffic performance measures. The results of studies of the impedance effects are also presented in the paper.
