Passing Lane Effectiveness on Two-Lane Roads
IN T R O D U C T IO N A passing lane is an added lane provided in one or both directions of travel on a conventional tw o-lane highw ay to im prove passing oppo r tunities. T his definition includes passing lanes in level or rolling terra in , clim bing lanes on grades, and short four-lane sections. T he length of the added lane can vary from 1,000 feet as m uch as 3 miles. Figure 1 illustrate...
متن کاملUsing Agent-Based Simulation to Determine an Optimal Lane-Changing Strategy on a Multi-Lane Highway
Lane changing can increase or impede the flow of vehicular traffic, depending on traffic density and the lane-changing strategies used by individual drivers. We implement and extend the Nagel-Schreckenberg (N-S) traffic model as an agent-based model to investigate lane-changing behavior on a multi-lane roadway, with the goal of determining which lane changing strategies result in the greatest o...
متن کاملA Lane Departure Warning System Based on Virtual Lane Boundary
A lane departure warning system (LDWS) should give as much warning time as possible, while triggering few, if any, false alarms. In this paper, a virtual lane boundary based LDWS (VLWM) is proposed to approach this goal. VLWM allows the driver to drift beyond the physical lane boundary by adding a virtual lane boundary. Accounting for the driving habit of the driver, lane geometry, and the loca...
متن کاملAssisted Highway Lane Changing with RASCL
Lane changing on highways is stressful. In this paper, we present RASCL, the Robotic Assistance System for Changing Lanes. RASCL combines state-of-the-art sensing and localization techniques with an accurate map describing road structure to detect and track other cars, determine whether or not a lane change to either side is safe, and communicate these safety statuses to the user using a variet...
متن کاملLane following and lane departure using a linear-parabolic model
This paper proposes a technique for unwanted lane departure detection. Initially, lane boundaries are detected using a combination of the edge distribution function and a modified Hough transform. In the tracking stage, a linear-parabolic lane model is used: in the near vision field, a linear model is used to obtain robust information about lane orientation; in the far field, a quadratic functi...
