Abstract

This paper focuses on modeling the acceleration-deceleration behavior of drivers during freeway weaving manoeuvres, under heavy traffic conditions. Data capturing a wide range of microscopic information were collected using video-recording and image processing techniques. The data was collected at two weaving sections on urban freeways in Tokyo and Melbourne. A theoretical framework for modeling weaving driver acceleration-deceleration behavior is presented. The collected data are used to calibrate the proposed model. A particular feature of the proposed model is that it captures the acceleration-deceleration behavior of drivers during the entire process of weaving manoeuvre. The results indicate that on average a 0.72 sec time gap exists before weaving drivers respond to stimuli. It is found that the surrounding freeway vehicles significantly affect the weaving vehicle acceleration behavior.
