A model of driver's lane-changing behaviour at an urban signalised intersection

The aim of this research is to study and develop models for driver's lane-changing behaviour in an urban area using the logistic regression method. A pilot study was conducted using a videotape recording technique to film an approach road leading to a signalised intersection in an urban road during the morning off-peak period. Inter-related coding methods were designed to describe and verify the driver's lane-changing manoeuvre. A questionnaires study to analyse the driver's background, experience, attitudes, lane-changing practices and their driving behaviour on the road was carried out in order to develop lane-changing behaviour models using the logistic regression method.

An evaluation of test statistics for detecting temporary change in Bl(1,1,1,1) models

A study is carried out to investigate the sampling properties of the outlier test statistics of a procedure developed for detecting temporary change in BL(1,1,1,1) processes. It is done with respect to the sample size, the type of outlier and the size of the coefficients of the BL(1,1,1,1) process. The results show that, in general, the outlier detection procedure is capable of detecting TC, although the performance is affected if ω is large. (© 2008 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
