According to the site Autonews.ru in 2019, the Center of traffic organization (TMS) intends to introduce in Moscow the first roundabout of a fundamentally new type – "turbocalc" on which the motion will be carried out in a more optimal principle, which will avoid unnecessary maneuvering.
The main difference between this "turbomolecular" crossroads from the usual ring will be that most areas will go along the optimal trajectory, given the guide lines.
In TMS, he said: "the Benefits of the pilot turbopowered obvious. Reduced number of conflict points, increasing the speed, as a result, 20-30% increases the capacity of the intersection. In fact, provided by the principle of "going straight should not be rebuilt", just not in the usual crossroads, and on the ring".
Experiment with pilot turbomolecular intersection is carried out in the area Chertanovo Central – at the intersection of Chertanovskaya and red Lighthouse. The situation in real time will be observed with cameras.
Drivers will be notified of the approaching crossroads of the new type by using the information boards. In addition, information about turboproject will be contained in the service "Yandex.Navigator".
