In mixed traffic with autonomous vehicles, the relationship between speed and lane-changing behavior is an important basis for mixed traffic control. In this study, we use empirical, simulation, and data-driven methods to study the relationship between speed and lane change rates in mixed traffic under different autonomous vehicle penetration rates. We use the empirical data to establish the corresponding road simulation models. Based on the simulation model, the traffic flow simulation experiments under the conditions of 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, and 90% penetration rate of autonomous vehicles were carried out. The analysis of the simulation results found that: (1) the penetration of autonomous vehicles into the road has a positive impact on the lanes far away from the entrance and exit, while the impact on the lanes closer to the entrance and exit is not obvious. (2) Lane-changing behavior has effectively decreased with the penetration of autonomous vehicles, but it is not obvious when the penetration rate exceeds 10%, and there is no significant drop in the lane connecting the entrance and exit. (3) There is a linear relationship between speed and lane-changing rate. Under different penetration rates, the data-driven analysis is used to perform multiple linear regressions, and the regression formula fits are all above 0.7. Based on the above findings, the linear formula of the fitting is proposed, and the value interval of the parameters in different states is given as well. Due to the small changes in the parameter values under different permeability conditions, the model has a certain degree of stability. The speed-lane change rate model proposed in this study can better describe the relationship between the speed of the ring-shaped urban expressway and the lane-changing behavior in the mixed traffic environment with the larger traffic flow.
