TIME-DEPENDENT DELAYS AT TRAFFIC MERGES

Abstract

The expected delay of a side-road driver attempting to merge with, or cross, a main-road traffic stream is studied. The model includes the effect of mixture of 'slow' and 'fast' drivers at the side road, and of different gap acceptance probabilities. Numerical results show the manner in which long-run delays are approached, and an approximation to the transient behavior of delays is studied.
