STATISTICAL EXPERIMENTS WITH A TWO-LANE FLOW MODEL

Abstract

In this paper, the authors describe a series of experiments which have been used to evaluate a theoretical model of lane changing and passing maneuvers. The experiments were performed on two unidirectional lanes of a four-lane freeway. In the introductory sections there is a theoretical discussion of the lane-changing model. The third section of the paper describes the experiments and the measurements which were made. A fourth and fifth section report on the analysis of experimental data. Data obtained for the mean and variance of lane changing flow rates are compared with theoretical values computed from variance and covariance functions of lane flow rates and lane velocities.
