Modeling vehicle acceleration-deceleration behavior during merge maneuvers

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the stimulus response equation as a fundamental rule to model ramp vehicle acceleration-deceleration behavior at freeway entrance ramps and found that the merge position has a statistically insignificant effect upon individual traffic parameters.

Modeling Driver Behavior During Merge Maneuvers

TL;DR: Developing empirical methodologies for modeling ramp driver acceleration-deceleration and gap acceptance behavior during freeway merge maneuvers indicated that ramp vehicle merge behavior is insignificantly related to any single traffic parameter, such as ramp vehicle approach speeds, freeway flow levels, and speed differentials.

Simulation of Traffic Delays At a T-Juntion With Various Alternative Forms of Layout:

TL;DR: The computer simulation model developed for the study of traffic delays at a T-junction can be varied to accommo date a single-lane or dual-lane approach on the minor road and to allow the major road to be either a single or dual carriage-way.

The development and validation of a freeway traffic simulator

TL;DR: The model has a CAPACITY for the SIMULTANEOUS, DYNAMIC ANALYSIS of TRAFFIC FLOW on 5 FREEWAY LANes, 4 on-RAMPS, and 6 off-RAMps, and was VALIDATED at both MICROSCOPIC and MACROScOPIC LEVELS.

Comments on the Highway-Crossing Problem

TL;DR: Comments are made concerning the influence of car performance on road crossing and on entering highways and the gap acceptance problem confronting a driver at a stop sign who is attempting to cross a single lane of traffic.
