This paper comprehensively reviews recent developments in modeling lane-changing
behavior. The major lane changing models in the literature are categorized into two groups …

This study aims (i) to analyze theoretical properties of a recently proposed describing-
function (DF) based approach (Li and Ouyang, 2011; Li et al., 2012) for traffic oscillation …

Carpooling is an effective means of reducing traffic. A carpool team shares a vehicle for their
commute, which reduces the number of vehicles on the road during rush hour periods …

Recent years have seen a renewed interest in Variable Speed Limit (VSL) strategies. New
opportunities for VSL as a freeway metering mechanism or a homogenization scheme to …

Systematic lane changes can seriously deteriorate traffic safety and efficiency inside lane-
drop, merge, and other bottleneck areas. In our previous studies (Jin, 2010a, Jin, 2010b), a …

Drivers often change lanes on the road to maintain desired speed and to avoid slow
vehicles, pedestrians, obstacles and lane closure. Understanding the effect of lane …

In urban settings where space is at a premium, bus lanes can often times be created only via
the conversion of existing general-use lanes. If buses are dispatched at low rates, the …

A platoon of connected automated vehicles (CAVs) is defined as a group of CAVs that
exchange information, so that they can drive in a coordinated way, allowing very small …

Capacity drop, which is defined as discharge flow drop after bottleneck activation, has been
frequently observed on urban highways, especially in merging sections. Maintaining high …

Economists have long advocated road pricing as an efficiency-enhancing solution to traffic
congestion, yet it has rarely been implemented because it is thought to create losers as well …
