Vehicle fuel consumption and emission rates in Kuwait have increased considerably over recent decades, and are now causing health and economic problems. A three-lane smart roundabout is a new and innovative design idea that can help to mitigate these issues. The smart roundabout was designed with a dedicated exit lane on the right side of each entryway, and a U-turn path connecting each adjacent entry and exit road. Both features permit vehicles to turn in specific directions without needing to enter the roundabout itself. Underground tunnels were designed for pedestrian and cyclist use. The objective of this study was to measure the impact of a smart roundabout on vehicle fuel consumption and on emissions of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and hydrocarbons. These results were then compared with those of a traditional roundabout and of a light-signalised intersection. Two light-signalised intersections with different traffic volumes were chosen for this study and simulated in their present state, as replaced by traditional roundabouts; and as replaced by smart roundabouts using the SIDRA 6.0 software. The smart roundabout allowed traffic to proceed with minimal delay and idling time, significantly reducing vehicle fuel consumption and emissions in comparison with a traditional roundabout or light-signalised intersection. Furthermore, the smart roundabout allowed pedestrians and cyclists to move safely through the intersection without interacting with vehicular traffic. Voertuig brandstofverbruik en emissietempo's in Koeweit het aansienlik verhoog oor die laaste paar dekades en veroorsaak gesondheid- en ekonomiese probleme. A drie-laan slim verkeersirkel is 'n nuwe en innoverende ontwerp wat kan bydrae tot die verligting van hierdie kwessies. Die slim verkeersirkel is ontwerp met 'n toegewyde uitgangslaan aan die regterkant van elke ingang en 'n U-draai baan wat naburige ingang- en uitgangslane verbind. Beide kenmerke laat voertuie toe om in spesifieke rigtings te draai sonder om die verkeersirkel te betree. Ondergrondse tonnels is gebruik vir voetgangers en fietsryers. Die doel van die studie is om die impak van so 'n slim verkeersirkel op die brandstofverbruik en uitlaat van koolstofdioksied, koolstofmonoksied, stikstofoksiede en hidrokoolstowwe te meet. Die resultate is dan met dié van 'n tradisionele verkeersirkel en 'n verkeersligkruising vergelyk. Twee verkeersligkruisings met verskillende verkeervolumes is gekies vir hierdie studie en in hul huidige toestand, met tradisionele verkeersirkels en met die voorgestelde slim verkeersirkel, met behulp van die SIDRA 6.0 sagteware gesimuleer. Die slim verkeersirkel het die verkeer met minimale vertraging en luier tyd laat vloei wat die brandstofverbruik en uitlaatgasse noemenswaardig laat verminder het. Verder het die slim verkeersirkel voetgangers en fietsryers met veilige deurgang deur die kruising verskaf sonder om met die padverkeer te meng.
