Abstract: The study of lane changing behavior in expressway weaving area is of great significance to the analysis of the traffic flow conflict and driving behavior characteristics. In this paper, a lane changing conflict model was established and trajectory extraction software was used to extract and calculate TTA (time to avoidance) and TTC (time to collision). We got 336 TTAs and 233 TTCs and 4 grades of the lane changing conflict level were built by using statistical method. We came up with the proposed lane changing speed and some traffic management strategies. The study will help to further improve road traffic behavior research system.

Key words: lane change, time to avoidance, time to collision, conflict analysis, conflict level
