abstract="The paper describes field observations at a ramp merging situation and the subsequent computer modelling of the operation of a typical yield and hesitate entrance ramp and also a ramp-merging control system. The gap acceptance mode of control was studied and compared to the uncontrolled condition. Criteria for comparison included: the numbers of vehicles merging with the motorway stream without delay; the average time spent by ramp vehicles on the acceleration lane; and the average speed of motorway vehicles on the acceleration lane; and the average speed of motorway vehicles at the end of the simulated section. On these criteria, gap acceptance control was found to be more effective than the uncontrolled condition.   <p>Language: en</p>",
