This study evaluates different proposed merging solutions that reduce the conflict between
merging vehicles and mainline traffic within a mixed traffic environment using a safety …

The connected autonomous vehicle (CAV) is the most significant breakthrough in the
automobile industry since the wide adoption of automobiles as a mode of transportation …

The use of connected autonomous vehicles (CAVs) can help reduce the gaps between
vehicles. However, smaller gaps may cause challenges for on-ramp vehicles to merge on …

This study proposed a methodology for estimating rear-end conflict risk of vehicles on
freeway merge sections as a probabilistic measure. The methodology consisted of two major …

Introduction: The safe freeway merging operation for fully Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) in
mixed traffic (ie, the presence of AVs and non-AVs in a traffic stream) is a challenging task …

Prior safety evaluations of interchange merging areas have mostly focused on traffic conflicts
and operating speeds, without considering how these factors can influence the driver …

Merging areas serve as the potential bottlenecks for continuous traffic flow on freeways.
Traffic incidents in freeway merging areas are closely related to decision-making errors of …

In order to work out the characteristics of traffic operation on freeway interchange merging
areas under different ratio of large vehicles, aerial photography technique based on …

This study investigates the drivers' merging behavior and the rear-end crash risk in work
zone merging areas during the entire merging implementation period from the time of …

Highway and traffic engineers in the United States have recognized the importance of
effective application of auxiliary lanes at high volume interchanges. Previous research has …
