Abstract

Lane change models are an important component in microscopic traffic simulators, which are increasingly the tool of choice for a wide variety of traffic applications at the operational level. In this study, an attempt is made to collect suitable data with a new method and present the best model. The area between Zibashahr Qazvin and Golshahr Karaj was chosen as the study area. By installing a camera and identifying the image using statistical software, the model was built. Brownie model was chosen to build the line change model. The results show that the logarithmic model has a better coefficient of determination than other models and is a more powerful model. Also, the "RSM" model with a higher "goodness of fit" coefficient provides a better model. The response variable was obtained three-dimensionally against the changes of distance from the front and distance from the back. The values of the distance from the front and the distance from the back have more effect than the values of the distances from the left and right. The output of experimental data from the study site and the Barwani model has a small average difference and the standard deviation is also reported to be very low. The correlation level was also a reasonable and favorable value, which indicates a small difference between the field observations and the Brownian motion model.
