Abstract

This paper investigates traffic dynamics of two-lane mixed traffic flow system composed of cars and buses, which are characterized by different lengths and different maximum velocities. Four lane changing regulations are studied, which reveals effect of lane changing ban, symmetric and asymmetric lane changing rules on traffic flow characteristics (flow rate, carry capability, lane changing frequency, and lane usage). We expect that our results could be useful for traffic management.
