The heterogeneity of traffic is the key factor affecting speed, travel time and convenience of road users. Motorized three-wheelers being prominent Para-transit options, provides mobility to millions of people, best feasible for providing door-to-door service in metropolitan regions and facilitate flexible passenger transportation. It does not necessarily follow fixed routes and schedules, as their performance and operational characteristics differ from cars, but remains largely unorganized. In traffic streams at different roadway infrastructures, presence of other class vehicles creates significant impediments to Motorized three-wheeler’s progress. The three-wheeler delay considered in this study is the time taken to travel from entry point to exit point during normal traffic flow conditions minus time taken during free flow conditions. This study develops the delay models with an average delay of three-wheelers at roundabouts as the dependent variable and several independent variables selected after going through statistical checks. The variables considered in the delay modelling are circulating flow, entry flow, roundabout diameter, weaving length, entry width, and length of non-weaving section, circulating lanes, roadside commercial activity, percentage of motorized three-wheelers, and percentage of heavy motorized vehicles. Multilinear regression and stepwise regression analysis is carried out to fit and validate the proposed delay models.
