“…Based on the analysis of actual data, it is concluded that the interactive decision-making among autonomous vehicles should consider the social preferences of surrounding vehicles and filter out irrelevant information to improve its performance. Xie et al (2012) analyzed the relationships among lane-changing, speeds and densities of different lanes in an urban expressway weaving area for given traffic conditions and level of service two. The effects of lane change factors between a series of recommended models and existing models were examined.…”

Purpose This paper aims to use active fine lane management methods to solve the problem of congestion in a weaving area and provide theoretical and technical support for traffic control under the environment of intelligent connected vehicles (ICVs) in the future. Design/methodology/approach By analyzing the traffic capacities and traffic behaviors of domestic and foreign weaving areas and combining them with field investigation, the paper proposes the active and fine lane management methods for ICVs to optimal driving behavior in a weaving area. The VISSIM simulation of traffic flow vehicle driving behavior in weaving areas of urban expressways was performed using research data. The influence of lane-changing in advance on the weaving area was evaluated and a conflict avoidance area was established in the weaving area. The active fine lane management methods applied to a weaving area were verified for different scenarios. Findings The results of the study indicate that ICVs complete their lane changes before they reach a weaving area, their time in the weaving area does not exceed the specified time and the delay of vehicles that pass through the weaving area decreases. Originality/value Based on the vehicle group behavior, this paper conducts a simulation study on the active traffic management control-oriented to ICVs. The research results can optimize the management of lanes, improve the traffic capacity of a weaving area and mitigate traffic congestion on expressways.
