A model for the structure of lane-changing decisions
TLDR
A structure is proposed to connect the decisions which a driver has to make before changing lanes to ensure that the vehicles in traffic simulations behave logically when confronted with situations commonly encountered in real traffic.Abstract:
A structure is proposed to connect the decisions which a driver has to make before changing lanes. The model is intended to cover the urban driving situation, where traffic signals, obstructions and heavy vehicles all exert an influence. The structure is designed to ensure that the vehicles in traffic simulations behave logically when confronted with situations commonly encountered in real traffic. The specific mathematical expression of the questions embedded in the decision process and employed in the present implementation of the model are not critical and can be replaced by alternatives, but the heirarchy of the decisions is crucial. On the basis of experience to date, the lane changing model produces a realistic simulation of driver behaviour and has proved very robust under a wide range of conditions.read more

Coordinated trajectory planning for lane-changing in the weaving areas of dedicated lanes for connected and automated vehicles
TL;DR: In this paper , a dynamic programming approach is proposed for coordinated trajectory planning of CAVs in mandatory lane-changing scenarios, in which CAVs have to switch from a dedicated CAV lane into parallel ordinary lanes with mixed traffic.
A systematic evaluation approach for data stream-based applications
TL;DR: A process model specifically tailored to the design, implementation, and evaluation of data stream applications, and a flexible, domain and application independent data quality management framework for relational data stream management systems based on the proposed methodology are proposed.

The move over law: effect of emergency vehicle lighting on driver compliance on Florida freeways
Grady Carrick,Scott S. Washburn +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors observed the behavior of more than 9,000 right-lane vehicles passing staged police stops on Florida freeways in north and central Florida, each staged stop involved the use of a civilian research vehicle, a marked police vehicle, video recording of passing traffic, and measurement of passing vehicle speeds with a laser speed measurement d...

TL;DR: In this article , a multi-lane multi-population microscopic model is proposed to simulate traffic on a ring-road, where vehicles are divided between human-driven and autonomous vehicles (AV).
Freeway Work Zone Driving Behaviour: The Influence of Work Zone Configurations
TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of work zones with specific layouts cannot be accurately determined, because changes in individual driving behaviour at work zones are unknown, therefore, the research objective is to gain insight into possible adaptation effects related to work zones, in empirical individual driving behavior and subsequent in macroscopic effects, by presenting the applied method.

A behavioural car-following model for computer simulation
TL;DR: A new model is constructed for the response of the following vehicle based on the assumption that each driver sets limits to his desired braking and acceleration rates and it is shown that when realistic values are assigned to the parameters in a simulation, the model reproduces the characteristics of real traffic flow.

Nonlinear Effects in the Dynamics of Car Following
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that a small amplitude disturbance propagates through a series of cars in the manner described by linear theories, except that the dependence of the wave velocity on the car velocity causes an accleration wave to spread as it propagates and a deceleration wave forming a stable shock.

A Generalization of Linear Car-Following Theory
TL;DR: The linear theory of single-lane traffic flow is generalized by using an integral transform technique well-known in other branches of applied science that introduces the idea of a memory function that describes the way in which a driver processes the information he receives from a lead vehicle.
