The interchange merging area suffers a high crash risk in the freeway system, which is
greatly related to the intense mandatory merging maneuvers. Ignoring such correlation may …

This paper aims to investigate the characteristics of discretionary lane change (LC) duration
on freeways based on an enriched dataset that contains the LC vehicle trajectories of 2905 …

Managed lanes (MLs) system has been widely implemented on freeways to mitigate
congestion and improve efficiency. MLs are usually designed as concurrent with general …

This paper proposes a novel breakdown probability model based on microscopic driver
behavior for a freeway merge bottleneck. Extending Newell's car following model to describe …

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of configuration elements and traffic flow
conditions on lane-changing rates at weaving segments. To achieve this, data collected from …

This paper aims to model the behavior of merging acceleration/deceleration when cars are
running in a congested weaving section on a freeway during the merging implementation …

A finite mixture of logistic regression model (FMLR) was applied to analyze the
heterogeneity within the merging driver population. This model can automatically provide …

Vehicle merging is a complex and tactical decision process. Merging position selection
behavior has been largely ignored in microscopic traffic simulators. Driver heterogeneity has …

Lane imbalance does not provide sufficient space for merging vehicles to adjust their speed
and change lanes smoothly. This leads to improper driving behavior that disrupts mainline …

A comprehensive analysis of the motivations, gap acceptance, duration, and speed
adjustment of heavy vehicle lane changes (LC) is conducted in this paper. An rich data set …
