The lane-changing probability for each DLC scenario was modeled as a function of corresponding important factors (obtained from focus group) and driver types. In gap acceptance modeling, the "hand-shaking negotiation" concept (from the TCP/IP protocols in computer network communications) was introduced to describe the vehicle interactions during lane-changing maneuvers under congested traffic flow. The proposed lane-changing model was developed and implemented in a microscopic traffic simulator, CORSIM. Traffic data were collected along a congested arterial in the City of Gainesville, FL, and used for model calibration and validation purposes. Simulation capabilities of the newly developed model were compared against the original lane-changing model in CORSIM. The results indicate that the new model better replicates the observed traffic under different levels of congestion.

(Cont.) Traffic conditions in the driver's neighborhood that are likely to influence lane change duration are accounted for in the third level. The extended model is applied to data obtained from video observations on traffic on a stretch of an arterial corridor in California. Apart from possessing distinctive features including signalized intersections and multiple access locations that result in lower average speeds, the arterial dataset used in this study represents a relatively low density scenario in terms of gap availability, thereby presenting an ideal test-bed for the proposed model extension. Since arterial datasets have not received predominant attention in literature, this work uncovers some traffic aspects not encountered in past studies. The model is estimated using a sample of the overall dataset available in the form of disaggregate vehicle trajectories. The estimated model is implemented in a microscopic traffic simulator MITSIMLab, and model validation is done using aggregated traffic data. Estimation and validation results showcase the improved modeling capabilities achieved through the proposed extension.

In recent years, the transport simulation of large road networks has become far more rapid and detailed, and many exciting developments in this field have emerged. Within this volume, the authors describe the simulation of automobile, pedestrian, and rail traffic coupled to new applications, such as the embedding of traffic simulation into driving simulators, to give a more realistic environment of driver behavior surrounding the subject vehicle. New approaches to traffic simulation are described, including the hybrid mesoscopic-microscopic model and floor-field agent-based simulation. Written by an invited panel of experts, this book addresses students, engineers, and scholars, as well as anyone who needs a state-of-the-art overview of transport simulation today.
