Modeling Freeway Lane Changing Behavior
Drivers continuously evaluate the surrounding traffic and the roadway environment, and make decisions about lanes and travel speed. The objective of this thesis is to develop a lane changing model that can be used in microscopic traffic simulation models to capture drivers' lane changing behavior. Lane change is modeled as a sequence of four steps: decision to consider a lane change, choice of ...
متن کاملMacroscopic Modeling of Managed Lane-Freeway Networks
We propose a macroscopic modeling framework for networks of freeways equipped with managed lanes. Two types of managed lane configuration are considered: full-access, where vehicles can switch between the general purpose (GP) and the managed lanes anywhere; and separated, where such switching is allowed only at certain locations called gates. The proposed framework is based on widely-used first...
متن کاملEstimating Driver Mandatory Lane Change Behavior on a Multi-lane Freeway
The driver gap acceptance and rejection behavior during mandatory lane changes on a multilane freeway are analyzed in this paper. Gaps are accepted or rejected based on comparison with a minimum value generally defined as the critical gaps. Critical gaps are estimated based on the accepted and rejected gaps observed in the field. Driver behavior can be classified as consistent or inconsistent o...
متن کاملEstimating Density and Lane Inflow on a Freeway Segment
This paper illustrates a methodology for estimating density in a freeway lane between detector stations and measuring the net number of vehicles to enter (or leave) the lane, i.e., the lane inflow. The work uses vehicle arrivals at each detector station and information from a sparse vehicle reidentification system, one that may match the measurements from as few as five percent of the vehicles ...
متن کاملA Behavioral Theory of Multi-Lane Traffic Flow Part I: Long Homogeneous Freeway Sections
This paper proposes a macroscopic behavioral theory of traffic dynamics for homogeneous, multi-lane freeways. The theory makes predictions for separate groups of lanes while recognizing that the traffic stream is usually composed of aggressive and timid drivers. Its principles are so simple that non-scientist drivers can understand them. The simplest version of the theory, which is described in...
