First phase of 4-yr program on freeway merging undertaken by U S Bureau of Public Roads to study effect that geometric variables have on merging of ramp traffic; to develop usable distributions of traffic variables for simulation programs; and to develop optimum ramp metering and merging control system; report emphasizes collection and collation of gap acceptance characteristics; statistically significant relations between percent gap acceptance and gap size are established.
