Abstract
This paper studies on traffic flow characteristics and lane changing behaviors at two representative locations of Beijing urban expressway bottlenecks. On the basis of real data collection, density-flow characteristic of each lane is analyzed and the factors that affect the frequency of lane changing behaviors are focused on. Results indicate the close relationship between density-flow characteristics and lane changing behaviors.
