InNagahama, AkihitoWada, Takahiro this study, we focus on the effects of the lateral shiftLateral shift of leading vehicles (leaders) and the steering operation of following vehicles (followers) on the response timeResponse time and deceleration of the followers. A physical investigation on heterogeneous traffic with weak lane disciplineTraffic with weak lane discipline is required because of heavy congestion in certain developing countries. Two-dimensional microscopic traffic models enabled researchers to simulate vehicles’ acceleration in traffic with weak lane discipline. However, to the best of our knowledge, there is a lack of research that discusses acceleration considering the variation of response timeResponse time caused by lateral shiftingLateral shift. We conducted experiments with a driving simulator and observed the followers’ behaviors when the leaders suddenly commenced deceleration. The distributions of the deceleration and response time depending on the leaders’ position were different under respective conditions of steering operation and relative positions.
