Chen, Kequan (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), Liu, Pan (author), Li, Zhibin (author), Wang, Yuxuan (author)The pre-insertion process called anticipation is an essential component of a lane-changing manoeuvre. There is little empirical research regarding the impact of anticipation. Thus, this paper aims to explore the behaviour of the new follower (NF) in the target lane when it encounters anticipation by using new trajectory datasets. The changing...journal article 2023

Fu, Sheng (author), Chen, P. (author), Liu, Yufeng (author), Ye, Zhisheng (author)Multinomial logistic regression models are popular in multicategory classification analysis, but existing models suffer several intrinsic drawbacks. In particular, the parameters cannot be determined uniquely because of the over-specification. Although additional constraints have been imposed to refine the model, such modifications can be...journal article 2023
