In this paper, we review trajectory data-based traffic flow studies that have been conducted
over the last 15 years. Our purpose is to provide a roadmap for readers who have an interest …

It is postulated that lane-changing vehicles create voids in traffic streams, and that these
voids reduce flow. This mechanism is described with a model that tracks lane changers …

Incorporation of more sophisticated human factors (HF) in mathematical models for driving
behavior has become an increasingly popular and important research direction in the last …

The ability of microscopic (simulation) models to represent lane-changing behavior
according to reality has recently been questioned. In this paper the merging maneuver (a …

In this article, we investigate discretionary lane change (DLC) characteristics using Next
Generation SIMulation (NGSIM) data sets. We first develop a set of heuristic rules to …

Lane change maneuver is one of the critical resources of traffic oscillation which will
jeopardize traffic efficiency and safety. Emergent connected and autonomous vehicle (CAV) …

A calibration and an analysis of a recently proposed relaxation model that requires only one
additional parameter∊ are presented. The relaxation phenomenon takes place whenever a …

In previous simulations lane-changing behavior is usually assumed as an instantaneous
action. However, in real traffic, lane changing is a continuing process which can seriously …

Human drivers take discretionary lane changes when the target lane is perceived to offer
better traffic conditions. Improper discretionary lane changes, however, lead to traffic …

Lane changing is a complex operation that has a significant impact on traffic safety. The
accurate identification and assessment of potential risks in the driving environment before …
