Abstract

In order to discover the variation of the traffic flow caused by lane change, the article analyzes the minimum safety distance and the lane change time between the lane change vehicle and the vehic...

Highlights

Lane change is the common driving behavior of traffic flow, which involves the traffic characteristics of the driver’s feeling, perception, judgment, and operation
We focus on the models of lane change and aim at different conditions such as lane change behavior decisions, safe distance, and lane change time by the method of simulation and experimental data analysis.[2,3,4]
Because we mainly focus on the influence of target lane caused by lane change, this article neglects the distance of the vehicle back and forward, which plans to change lane

Summary

Introduction

Lane change is the common driving behavior of traffic flow, which involves the traffic characteristics of the driver’s feeling, perception, judgment, and operation. When the traffic density is low, it is beneficial for driver to obtain the desired speed and improve the efficiency of traffic. If the driver is forced to change lane, it will affect the speed of current and target lane, which is easy to result in traffic conflict and form potential traffic safety hazard.[1]. Jing et al.[5] analyzed the relationship between the number of vehicles and traffic density. LY Wei[6] analyzed the behavior of vehicles affected by the change lane of bus with the method of cellular automata model.
