碩士 === 國立虎尾科技大學 === 資訊工程研究所 === 102 === Traffic accident is one of the reasons for reducing human life. Unsuitable driving behavior often leads to the occurrence of accidents. In order to reduce accidents and to prolong human life, a more realistic traffic model must be designed and developed to analyze the various factors in the traffic accidents. In high-speed vehicle systems, a three-lane traffic flow model based on the highway system is proposed in this thesis. We define an appropriate vehicle forward and changing lane driving rules, and accident modules to investigate the impact of different driving strategies and the reasons of traffic accidents. We also analyze impact on the traffic flow and accidents for the driving strategies in the cars and trucks. By using the specified road driving rules, the relationships between the thesis driving strategies and the traffic accidents are analyzed. Additionally, in this thesis, several environment variables for analysis and discussion are accounting for in order to meet the real road driving situations. Because the driver may be affected by the environmental factors, this situation results in that the driving behavior is different from normal and the driver''s reaction is not fast enough thus causing accidents. We consider the actual situation for the transport system and a reasonable three-lane traffic flow model is designed on the basis of the computer science technology. We prospered the driving strategies, according to the simulation and analysis, an appropriate multi-lane road highway driving strategies norms is proposed to reduce the traffic accidents. Additionally, this system can provide a road driving simulation in high-speed vehicle systems. According to the driving strategies norms, some vehicle sensing devices can be equipped in the vehicle driving assistance systems to make the necessary driving control. The occurrence of traffic accidents is more effectively reduced.
