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

TL;DR: The results show that auditory cues can influence the speed and increase the frontal EEG delta and beta power, which is related to motor preparation and decision making during a lane change, but there were no significant results on the alpha power.

Study of Mandatory Lane Change Execution Behavior Model for Heavy Vehicles and Passenger Cars
TL;DR: This paper investigates the behavior of heavy vehicles and passenger cars in mandatory lane changes and proposes a model framework for the execution of lane changes with regard to the emergency status and the impact of surrounding traffic for individual drivers who are changing lanes.

Impact of queuing discipline on packet delivery latency in ad hoc networks
TL;DR: A partial remedy that applies to delay sensitive but loss tolerant applications such as live streaming is described that under relatively high UDP traffic load, the Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) with Frontdrop queuing discipline achieves less than half the delay of the commonly used First-in- first-Out with Taildrop while maintaining similar jitter.
Application of parameter estimation and calibration method for car-following models
TL;DR: The author developed a process to apply a stochastic calibration method with appropriate regularization to estimate the distribution of parameters for car-following models using the Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulation using the Bayesian estimation theory that has been recently investigated for use in inverse problems.

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.
