Abstract
In the analysis of lane changing along jeepney stops, it is necessary to consider the influence of public transport operation on the lane change patterns and traffic characteristics along the study segments. Results show that relationships observed for highways can be replicated along arterials and that there is a dynamic relationship between lane changing and lane utilization. The basic concept here is that the frequency of lane changes increases with increasing traffic flow until such a time when the concentration of traffic restricts the probability of changing lanes and the frequency declines as flow further increases. The lane change mechanism can be expressed in terms of driver preferences while still being dependent on the perceived adjacent lane speeds and densities. The importance of studying lane changing is emphasized and directions for future research are discussed.
