Abstract EN
Freeways form an important part of the road network.
Yet, driving behavior on freeways, in particular lane changes and the relation with the choice of speed, is not well understood.
To overcome this, an online survey has been carried out.
Drivers were shown video clips, and after each clip they had to indicate what they would do after the moment the video stopped.
A total of 1258 Dutch respondents completed the survey.
The results show that most people have a strategy to choose a speed first and stick to that, which is the first strategy.
A second, less often chosen, strategy is to choose a desired lane and adapt the speed based on the chosen lane.
A third strategy, slightly less frequently chosen, is that drivers have a desired speed, but contrary to the first strategy, they increase this speed when they are in a different lane overtaking another driver.
A small fraction have neither a desired speed nor a desired lane.
Of the respondents 80% use the right lane if possible, and 80% avoid overtaking at the right.
Also 80% give way to merging traffic.
The survey was validated by 25 survey respondents also driving an instrumented vehicle.
The strategies in this drive were similar to those in the survey.
The findings of this work can be implemented in traffic simulation models, e.g., to determine road capacity and constraints in geometric design.
