Description

The accelpass function estimates the relative locations of two vehicles where one passes the other.

Usage

accelpass(tend, umn, usd, xstart, xfunnel, leff, lane, step)

Arguments

tend	end time for a simulation run, a number
umn	start speed (mph) for vehicle in lane 1, a number
usd	speed volatility for umn, a number
xstart	start location for vehicle in lane 1 (feet), a number
xfunnel	upstream location where the lane drop starts (feet), a number
leff	effective vehicle length(feet), a number
lane	number, a number
step	size in seconds, a number

Value

accelpass uses a stochastic model to show the locations of vehicle accelerating to pass another vehicle traveling side-by-side at the speed.

Examples

accelpass(30, 41, 11, -1000, -500, 14, 1, 2)
