TLDR
Through the analysis of the phase diagram, it can be found that the on-ramp system with two-lane main road can embody more complicated and realistic traffic flow characteristics than the on/off system with single- lane main road.
Abstract
In this paper we investigate the two-lane main road on-ramp system with signal-controlling using the cellular automata traffic flow model. The traffic signal is setup at the merging part between the main road and the on-ramp so that it can control the vehicles of both roads. We simulate the effect of traffic signal on vehicle flows of main road and on-ramp, and the traffic capacity and average velocity at the merging part are discussed. Through the analysis of the phase diagram, it can be found that the on-ramp system with two-lane main road can embody more complicated and realistic traffic flow characteristics than the on-ramp system with single-lane main road. Compared with the model introduced by Jiang Rui [Jiang R 2003 J. Phys. A 36 11713], the simulation results indicate that the state of traffic flow is improved obviously and the capacity of the on ramp system has increased.

Continuum modeling for two-lane traffic flow with consideration of the traffic interruption probability

TL;DR: Considering the effects that the probability of traffic interruption and the friction between two lanes have on the car-following behavior, a new two-lane microscopic car following model was established in this article, where terms related to lane change were added into the continuity equations and velocity dynamic equations to investigate the lane change rate.

A new traffic model with the consideration of coupling effect with two lanes

TL;DR: A new two-lane high-order continuum model is introduced by embedding the two delay time scales continuum traffic model presented by Xue into the multi-lane model proposed by Daganzo with the consideration of the coupling effect between the vehicles of two lanes in instantaneous traffic situation and lane-change effect.
