Abstract

The expressway traffic flow characteristics of off-ramp have an important impact on traffic congestion. By analyzing the vehicle car-following and lane-changing behavior, the cellular automata model of off-ramp area was built. When analyzing lane-changing behavior, the behavior of vehicle changing lane from main lane to off-ramp buffer lane was considered, and the information interaction process between the vehicle ready to changing lane and the rear vehicle on the target lane was considered, the new lane-changing rules were built. In the new lane-changing rules, free lane-changing and compulsory lane-changing were included. By analyzing the simulation results, when traffic flow density is lower, the behavior of vehicles in the main lane changing lane into off-ramp buffer lane has less effect on traffic capacity of the road section, but when traffic flow density rising to a certain extent, the behavior of vehicles in the main lane changing lane into off-ramp buffer lane will bring an adverse effect on traffic capacity of the road section.
