LANE CHANGE DETERMINATION METHOD IN TRAFFIC FLOW MICRO-SIMULATION AND TRAFFIC FLOW MICRO-SIMULATION SYSTEM USING IT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reproduce a natural traffic flow by simulation.;SOLUTION: In this traffic flow micro-simulation system, traffic flow is predicted by simulating respective vehicles X (#1-#n) traveling on a road. In determination whether an object vehicle X (#1) can change its lane from a traveling lane C to the adjacent lane D, it is determined that the object vehicle X (#1) can change its lane if an inter-vehicle distance between a vehicle X (#2) on the adjacent lane D traveling just before the object vehicle X (#1) and the object vehicle (#1) is above a predetermined value.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
