Lane-changing decision modelling in congested traffic with a game theory-based decomposition algorithm

This study presents a cellular lane-changing model where the traffic lanes are discretized into cells and formulates the lane-changing process as a multi-player non-zero-sum non-cooperative game in a connected environment where the real-time surrounding traffic data is shared. In a congested traffic scenario where a large quantity of mandatory lane-changing maneuvers are required simultaneously, the size of the game is extended dynamically...
