| Abstract | This research is an investigation of the effects of a gasoline
station in regard to selected examples of traffic behavior such as
acceptance of gaps, service time, and traffic generation. A photographic technique, in combination with manual observations, was used
to gather the field data.
General information obtained from a search of pertinent literature
inspired questions on the problem of traffic characteristics at a gasoline station. An experimental program to obtain traffic data was
conducted and statistical techniques were used in analyses of the
data. The study dealt with determination of the merging characteris¬
tics of vehicles leaving a gasoline station, and an evaluation of
traffic generated by the gasoline station. It was found that there
was little relationship between the volume of traffic passing the testsite and the volume of traffic generated by the station. It appeared
that traffic generation at the site studied was governed by the capacity
of the gasoline station to serve, without undue delay, those vehicles
which entered. It is expected that these findings may be of interest
in planning future facilities.
