Lane changing models for arterial traffic
Driving behavior models for lane-changing and acceleration form an integral component of microscopic traffic simulators and determine its value in evaluation of different traffic management strategies. The state-of-art model for lane changing adopts a two-level framework: the first level involves a …

Anticipatory behavior in lane changing models
Actions performed by drivers in case of lane changing behavior are usually the result of some plan the driver has in mind. This involves anticipating future scenarios and persisting in order to execute the plan. The objective of this thesis is to develop a framework for modeling the lane-changing …

Modeling Slow Lead Vehicle Lane Changing
… field experiment data were used to investigate lane changes in which a slow lead vehicle was present to: 1) characterize lane changes, 2) develop predictive models, 3) provide collision avoidance system (CAS) design guidelines. A total of 3,227 slow lead vehicle lane changes over 23,949 miles …

Modeling drivers' acceleration and lane changing behavior
… models which includes the acceleration and lane changing models. It enhances the existing models and develops new ones. Another major contribution of this thesis is the empirical work, i.e., estimating the models using statistically rigorous methods and microscopic data collected from real …

An observational study of freeway lane-changing behaviour
… on a freeway has observed the phenomenon of lanechanging. This phenomenon is, of course, caused by the desire of most of the drivers not to be in a slow-moving lane. Therefore, the average driver who finds himself in such a lane moves into a neighboring faster lane, usually after a certain …

Modeling lane-changing behavior in presence of exclusive lanes
… affected by the presence of exclusive lanes. Particularly, unlimited access to exclusive lanes result significant amount of special type of lane-changing actions. The objective of this thesis is to develop an improved lane-changing model that has a generalized structure and is flexible …

Development of vehicle lane changing model within u-turn facilities
… in estimating the safe distances to execute the lane changing within the U-turn facilities. The data were taken from the field which is video recording, picture and geometric design and was used to simulate the driving simulator like an actual environment while the driving simulator come out with …

Integrating driving behavior modeling
… concepts, is developed. This model captures both lane changing and acceleration behaviors. The driver's short-term goal is defined by the target lane. Drivers who wish to change lanes but cannot change lanes immediately, select a short-term plan to perform the desired lane change. Short-term plans …

A Naturalistic Driving Study for Lane Change Detection and Personalization
… the natural behavior of drivers when changing lanes in terms of preferences of vehicle kinematics parameters using a real-world driving dataset collected as part of the Second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP2). The SHRP2 Naturalistic Driving Study (NDS) set is mined for lane …

An Analysis of Traffic Behavior at Freeway Diverge Sections using Traffic Microsimulation Software
… VISSIM, and CORSIM, to investigate the lane changing behavior as vehicles approach a freeway diverge area. The count of lane changes, lane use distribution, and visual inspection of the simulated lane changing behavior was compared to video data collected at two freeway diverge areas on …

Enhancing Freeway Merge Section Operations via Vehicle Connectivity
… affects the transportation system, especially lane-changing behavior occasionally cause conflicts between drivers and induce shock waves that propagate backward. A freeway merge section is one of locations observed a freeway bottleneck, generating freeway traffic congestion. The emerging …

Development of a Three Dimensional Lane Change Model
… the state of the art in modeling drivers' lane changing behavior and the kinematic structure of vehicle movement within it. It also enhances the existing models by adding more realistic urgency checking and safety checking models. Another major contribution of this research is the empirical …

The Performance of Realistic Simulation over Vehicular Networks
… real-time information on speed, braking and lane changing activities with other vehicles can help avoid accidents and traffic congestion. Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) is a network that involves moving vehicles within certain range of distance to communicate with each other, thus forming a …

Modeling driving decisions with latent plans
… observed. Examples include selection of a target lane before execution of the lane change, choice of a merging tactic before execution of the merge. Change in circumstances (e.g. reaction of the neighboring drivers, delay in execution) can lead to updates to the initially chosen plan. These latent …

Intelligent Decision-Making for Autonomous Driving in Dynamic and Interactive Environments
… information. Unsignalized intersection and lane-changing scenarios are particularly representative of such challenges, which involves complex dynamic interactions. AVs need to assess and predict the driving preferences of nearby vehicles to optimize and adaptively adjust their own driving …

Modeling gap acceptance at freeway merges
… into three types: normal, forced and cooperative lane changing. The developed merging model uses a single critical gap function, which incorporates explanatory variables that capture all three types of merging behavior. Thus, the model combines all three types in a single model. The merging gap …
