Full TextAbstract
This study investigates the impeding effect of weaving area on freeway traffic flow based on a multi-class first-order macroscopic model. The model assumes lane-changing movement between neighboring lanes is a function of difference in their density. Free traffic condition in road segment with slight difference in density between lanes was presumed in the freeway and several ramp flows were added to the traffic and the density profile of each lane were compared. Results revealed that with the increase in ramp flows, traffic become instable in highway and interchange movements between lanes also rises.
