Lane changing behavior, a pivotal aspect of vehicular dynamics, significantly influences traffic flow, safety, and overall road network efficiency. This review article synthesizes the current body of knowledge surrounding lane changing behavior, encompassing both mandatory and discretionary lane changes. The intricate interplay between various factors, including speed differentials, driver characteristics, road geometry, and external stimuli, shape the decision-making processes underlying lane changes. The article explores the underlying psychological, cognitive, and socio-demographic influences on lane changing behavior, highlighting the role of emerging technologies such as advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication. Furthermore, the review delves into existing models and methodologies employed to analyze lane changing behavior, addressing their limitations and potential for advancement. Real-world applications, such as work zones and incident management, are examined to underline the practical implications of understanding and predicting lane changing behavior. By presenting a comprehensive overview of the subject, this review aims to deepen the understanding of the complexities inherent in lane changing behavior, facilitating informed decision-making for traffic management, safety enhancement, and future research endeavors.
