Modelling Motorway Merge: The Current Practice in the UK and Towards Establishing General Principles
Abstract Motorway merging has been regarded as a major source of conflicts and congestion on motorways, but has long been recognised as an area in which modelling has been relatively weak. The current traffic models represent the traffic operations...
