“…The second decision, which involves the ramp driver searching for and accepting a suitable gap, has been extensively studied for the free-flow merging condition , Daganzo 1981, Makigami et al 1988, Chang and Kao 1991, Ahmed et al 1996, Kita 1999, Kurian 2000. The gap searching and acceptance maneuvers commonly observed under free-flow conditions do not occur under heavy traffic flow conditions, according to a macroscopic study by Sarvi and Kuwahara (1999) and Sarvi (2000). These macroscopic studies found no significant correlation between the acceleration lane length and the maximum flow rate in the merging sections.…”

“…A comprehensive traffic survey and onsite observation have shown that the decision-making process of drivers in merging situations can be divided into three zones, as shown in Figure 3 (Sarvi 2000). The decisions required in each zone can be expressed as follows.…”

“…Wang et al (2005) developed model for motorway traffic merging behavior by explicitly simulating the interactions between the gap-acceptance behavior of the merging traffic and the cooperative behavior of the motorway traffic. Sarvi, Ceder, & Kuwahara, 2002, 2005 have done extensive studies on traffic behavior and characteristics during merging process under congested conditions, using ramp and freeway lag driver acceleration-deceleration behavior modeling. Kuwahara (2007, 2008) developed the Freeway Merging Capacity Simulation Program to evaluate the capacity of a merging section and the model was also employed to develop a variety of intelligent transport system control strategies.…”

“…Michaels and Fazio, 1989;Yang and Koutsopoulos, 1996). However motorway traffic has in fact been seen to exhibit a kind of cooperative behaviour by changing to the inner lanes upon approaching the merge section or by yielding to create gaps for the merging traffic (Hounsell and McDonald, 1992;Sarvi et al, 2002;Elefteriadou et al 1995;Evans et al, 2001;Troutbeck, 2002;Bunker and Troutbeck, 2003). Such a cooperative process, which is also called "limited priority system", has recently received some attention.…”
