Abstract

We address establishing a comprehensive mathematical model to analyze the performance of right-hand rule in right and heavy traffic. First, we build the overtaking model by considering some retricted conditions including the safe distance, speed limitations and human judgment. Next, we take account of several uncertain factors, such as traffic density and overtaking frequency to improve the comprehensive model. On the basis of the comprehensive model, we simulate the right-hand rule under different traffic conditions, we find that with the number of vehicles increasing, the average passing time increases, traffic flow increases. According to human judgment, we can calculate the possibility of overtaking to decide whether to tag or overtake. Finally, we make the sensitivity analysis. We change the speed of the vehicle and we find that two different speeds have the same variation tendency which can explain that the model is very robust. Our model can be applied to other traffic rules with a simple change of parameters.
