As the traffic jam in Taiwan getting worse with the fast growth to the amount of the vehicles in Taiwan, it is to hard to resolve the traffic system. Specifically, rural highway is the mainstream road system in Taiwan, and because it has very complex characters, the aim of this study is to know the characters.
Based on car-following theory, microscopic traffic flow theory, kinematics theorem, fuzzy theory, and behavioral threshold model, this study is proposed a microscopic traffic flow model, incorporating the car-following threshold and lane-changing models on rural highways. The car following threshold model is developed by classifying the driver risk factor based on GM Model. This study is also proposed a modified lane changing angle and acceleration models considering the lead car difference between car and bus by video recording data as well. The last part is to propose a lane changing rule based on the proceeding lane changing angel and acceleration models. This study result promotes the road administrators to identify and validate the traffic control system or mange the system on rural highways. |
