Analysis of mandatory and discretionary lane change behaviors for heavy trucks
Abstract
The behaviors of heavy vehicles drivers in mandatory and discretionary lane changes are analyzed in this paper. 640 mandatory and 2,035 discretionary lane change events were extracted from a naturalistic driving database. Variations in gap acceptance and lane change duration were investigated. Statistical analysis showed that mandatory lane changes are more aggressive in gap acceptance and lane change execution than discretionary lane changes. The results can be used for microscopic simulations, and design and evaluation of driver-assistant systems.
