摘      要：This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between congestion and lane changing,using vehicle trajectory data from the M1 motorway in *** establish a connection between the distribution of travel time and lane changing frequency and employ a Poisson process to describe the intensity of lane changing occurrences in different travel time *** an individual perspective,lane changing does not bring significant speed benefits in most cases,except when the speed range is between 45 and 50 km/*** a system perspective,the relationship between lane change rate and speed depends on the purpose of the lane *** merging,diverging,and lane restriction areas,for instance,mandatory lane changes *** most sections of the motorway,discretionary lane changes are motivated by the expectation of improving speed and/or ***,we demonstrate a mutual causality relationship between lane changing and congestion through the Granger causality *** relationship is more pronounced in general areas during peak periods and contributes to the deterioration of the driving environment.
