Necessity Analysis of inside Shoulder for Multi-lane Freeway
By the end of 2014, the total mileages of freeway in China have reached 112,000 kilometers, ranking the first in the world. Most of freeways are four-lane or six-lane, for which inside shoulder is not required by current Chinese guidelines. The inside shoulder is designed to reduce the possibility of fatal traffic accidents on freeways. In China, “Technical Standard of Highway Engineering” regu...
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 کاملModeling 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 کاملHeadway distribution models of two-lane roads under mixed traffic conditions: a case study from India
Introduction The time headway of vehicles is of fundamental importance in traffic engineering applications like capacity, levelof-service and safety studies. Further, the performance of traffic simulation depends on inputs into the simulation process and ‘accurate vehicle generation’ is critical in this context. Thus, it is important to define headway distribution pattern for the purpose of ana...
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...
