Abstract
Lane changing phenomenon is vital in representing individual vehicle behaviour in microscopic traffic simulation, yet many lane change models do not consider the uncertainties and perceptions in human behaviour that are involved in modelling lane changing. In the present study, fuzzy reasoning in lane changing model is introduced to reflect these uncertainties and perceptions to represent lane changing behaviour more realistically. The comparison of simulated results with observed data indicated that fuzzy reasoning represents driver behaviour more realistically than standard modelling. The effectiveness of the proposed technique is demonstrated in a real urban network with bus lane policy.
