Abstract

By means of data obtained from aerial photography, the author studied gap-acceptance maneuvers by exiting and through vehicles changing lanes on multilane freeways under various flow conditions. Within the assumptions made, it was found that a larger accident risk is accepted by exiting vehicles than by through vehicles in their lane changes, whereas the accident risk imposed on the lag car of the accepted gap is smaller for lane changes by exiting vehicle than by through vehicle.
