ABSTRACT

The object of our current research is the traffic flows interaction in the merging zones of on-ramps. First of all we took into consideration that the traffic density increase and change of the vehicles dynamic greatly influence on the driver’s behavior. The second is that on-ramp merging zone is a source of increase of traffic flow local density causing reduced speeds, capacity drop and congestion. The field data collection had been collected on the multi-lane highways (2 to 5 lanes in each direction) in 2015. The results of data processing are presented in this article.
