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: A new cellular automata model is proposed, where different autonomous vehicles and manual vehicles are compared in terms of fundamental traffic parameters, and it is suggested that autonomous vehicles can raise the flow rate of any network considerably despite the running heterogeneous traffic flow.

A negotiation-based right-of-way assignment strategy to ensure traffic safety and efficiency in lane changes
TL;DR: In this article, a negotiation-based lane-changing strategy is proposed to make a trade-off between safety and efficiency, which can maintain collision avoidance and facilitate traffic efficiency while ensuring safety.

TL;DR: A general relaxation model is developed which can be applied to an arbitrary parametric or nonparametric microsimulation model and modifies car following dynamics after a lane change, when vehicles can be far from equilibrium.

Development of a predictive collision avoidance for subjective adjacent risk estimation
Je Hong Yoo,Reza Langari +1 more
TL;DR: This paper designs a human-like predictive perception model for the collision with an adjacent vehicle, based on the objective collision model and the driver's subjective level of safety assurance, and simulates a typical driver's reasoning in view of his/her disposition.

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.
