Investigating the impact of dynamic merge control strategies on driving behavior on rural and urban expressways – A driving simulator study Universiteit Hasselt
Harsh decelerations and abrupt lane changes of drivers on the outer expressway lane in response to merging platoon vehicles from on-ramps increase the crash- and congestion risk on expressways. Several merge control approaches are worldwide implemented. However, there is a gap in knowledge which driving behaviors determine whether a particular merge control approach is best for a rural or urban expressway. This study tests a number of dynamic ...
