A kinematic wave theory of lane-changing traffic flow
Frequent lane-changes in highway merging, diverging, and weaving areas could disrupt traffic flow and, even worse, lead to accidents. In this paper, we propose a simple model for studying bottleneck effects of lane-changing traffic and aggregate traffic dynamics of a roadway with lane-changing areas. Based on the observation that, when changing its lane, a vehicle affects traffic on both its cu...
متن کاملA kinematic wave theory of lane-changing vehicular traffic
Frequent lane-changes in highway merging, diverging, and weaving areas often can disrupt traffic flow and, even worse, lead to accidents. For balanced lane-changing areas, where different lanes share the same traffic conditions, based on the observation that a vehicle has to take two lanes during its lane-changing period, we consider its contribution to traffic density is doubled. That is, ther...
متن کاملA kinematic wave theory of multi-commodity network traffic flow
A systematic understanding of traffic dynamics on road networks is crucial for many transportation studies and can help to develop more efficient ramp metering, evacuation, signal control, and other management and control strategies. In this study, we present a theory of multi-commodity network traffic flow based on the Lighthill–Whitham–Richards (LWR) model. In particular, we attempt to analyz...
متن کاملMulti-lane hybrid traffic flow model: a theory on the impacts of lane-changing maneuvers
This paper introduces a multi-lane hybrid theory that treats lane-changing as temporary blockages, because this is what is physically observed in reality. For maximum accuracy lanechanging vehicles are modeled as discrete particles endowed with limited acceleration capabilities that interact realistically with the multi-lane continuum stream. This discrete-continuum (hybrid) setup is parsimonio...
متن کاملA Kinematic Wave Traffic Flow Model for Mixed Traffic
In this paper we extend the Lighthill-Whitham-Richards kinematic wave traffic flow model to describe traffic with different types of vehicles, where all types of vehicles are completely mixed and travel at the same group velocity. A study of such a model with two vehicle classes (e.g., passenger cars and trucks) shows that, when both classes of traffic have identical free-flow speeds, the model...
