A Multilane Traffic Flow Model Accounting for Lane Width, Lane-Changing and the Number of Lanes
Multilane widely exists in the urban traffic system and its traffic flow is more complex than the single-lane traffic flow since it may be affected by each lane’s width, the number of lanes and lane-changing. ...
