Current state-of-the-art highway traffic flow simulators rely extensively on models using formulas similar to those describing physical phenomena such as forces, viscosity or potential fields. These models had been carefully calibrated to model the overall flow of the traffic and they can also be extended to account for the cognitive limitations of the driver (such as reaction delay). There are, however, aspects of driver behavior such as strategic planning which are difficult to express through continuous formulas. We describe the YAES-DSIM highway simulator which integrates virtual physics models with an agent-based model. The virtual physics component models the physical vehicle and the subconscious aspects of the driver behavior, while the agent component is responsible for the strategic and tactical decisions which are difficult to model as virtual physics. In this paper we focus on the lane change decisions of the drivers, with a special attention to the optimal lane positioning for a safe exit. We have used the model to simulate the traffic on Highway 408 in Orlando, Florida and to study the impact of various tactical and strategic decisions on the efficiency and safety of the traffic.

Current state-of-the-art highway traffic flow simulators rely
extensively on models using formulas similar to those describing
physical phenomena such as forces, viscosity or potential fields.
These models had been carefully calibrated to model the overall flow
of the traffic and they can also be extended to account for the
cognitive limitations of the driver (such as reaction delay). There
are, however, aspects of driver behavior such as strategic planning
which are difficult to express through continuous formulas. We
describe the YAES-DSIM highway simulator which integrates virtual
physics models with an agent-based model. The virtual physics
component models the physical vehicle and the subconscious aspects
of the driver behavior, while the agent component is responsible for
the strategic and tactical decisions which are difficult to model as
virtual physics.
In this paper we focus on the lane change decisions of the drivers,
with a special attention to the optimal lane positioning for a safe
exit. We have used the model to simulate the traffic on Highway 408
in Orlando, Florida and to study the impact of various tactical and
strategic decisions on the efficiency and safety of the traffic.
