The effect of moving bottlenecks on a two-lane traffic flow

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/22/10/108902

Abstract In this paper, we study the effect of moving bottlenecks on traffic flow. The full velocity difference (FVD) model is extended to the traffic flow on a two-lane highway, and new lane changing rule is proposed to reproduce the vehicular lane changing behavior. Using this model, we derive the fundamental current–density diagrams for the traffic flow with the effect of moving bottleneck. Moreover, typical time–space diagram for a two-lane highway shows the formation and dissipation of a moving bottleneck. Results demonstrate that the effect of moving bottleneck enlarges with the increase of traffic density, but the effect can be reduced by increasing the maximum velocity of heavy truck. The effects of multiple moving bottlenecks under different conditions are investigated. The effect becomes more remarkable when the coupling effect of multiple moving bottlenecks occurs.

Keywords: traffic flow moving bottleneck lane changing coupling effect
