Study on the evaluation of merging traffic streams on the ruban expressway in osaka

摘要

One of the prime objectives of the study is to evaluate the differences between the night-time and the day-time merging traffic stream characteristics by analyzing the merging traffic survey dat covering night-time and day-time as well as congested and non-congested traffic conditions. A previously developed merging traffic computation model considering multi-merging phenomena was applied to evaluate the traffic in terms of merging probability.
