In PJOssenbruggen/Basic: Tools for Understanding Highway Performance

Description

zippermerge produces t-x trajectory for vehicles traveling on parallel lanes that merge at a bottleneck.

Usage

zippermerge(nveh, tstart, tend, xstart, u, leff, xfunnel, delt, kfactor)

Arguments

nveh	number of vehicles, a number
tstart	start time, (seconds), a number
tend	end time, (seconds), a number
xstart	vehicle location at time tstart, a number
u	vehicle speed (mph), a number
leff	vehicle length in feet, a number
xfunnel	location where the lane drop is located, a number
delt	size in seconds, a number
kfactor	density at time t = 0, a number

Value

The analyses the zone for a safe headway violation. X = 0 if safe, else non-zero.
