Lane-changing maneuvers on highways may cause capacity drops, create shock waves, and potentially increase collision risks. Properly managing lane-changing behavior to reduce these adverse impacts requires an understanding of their determinants. This paper investigates the determinants lane changing in congested traffic using a next generation simulation dataset. A random parameters binary logi...

Providing sufficient Available Sight Distance (ASD) that meets the minimum design requirements is crucial for highway safety. Previous work on sight distance assessment focused Stopping (SSD) with little attention given to Passing (PSD). Insufficient PSD could lead severe collisions such as head-on and sideswipe crashes. To address this gap, paper introduces an automated method two-lane highway...

The characterization of human drivers’ performance is of great significance for highway design, driver state monitoring, and the development of automotive active safety systems. Many earlier studies are restricted by experimental scope, the number and diversity of human subjects, and the accuracy and extent of measured variables. In this work, driver lateral control performance on limited-acces...
