Defining Highway Node Acceptance Capacity (HNAC): Theoretical Analysis and Data Simulation

A new concept of Highway Node Acceptance Capacity (HNAC) is proposed in this paper inspired by a field data observation. To understand HNAC in microscopic view, boundary condition of successful merging is found using car-following behaviours and lane-changing rules, which could also explain traffic...
