One of the most complex and unavoidable manoeuvres on undivided two-lane two-way roads is overtaking, where the vehicles use the opposing lane to overtake the slow-moving vehicles, in the presence of vehicles coming from opposite direction. Overtaking manoeuvre is complicated in mixed traffic conditions, where the vehicles have different static and dynamic characteristics. In this study, a binary logistic regression model was developed to study the decision to overtake on the roads. Different variables that affect the overtaking behaviour of vehicles were considered in this study. The results show that speed of overtaking, overtaken and opposing vehicle, space headway before overtaking and lateral adjustment by overtaken vehicle during overtaking manoeuvre are significant at 95% confidence level. The results that obtained from this paper are useful to predict the overtaking behaviour of vehicles in mixed traffic conditions, and it can also be used as an input in a traffic simulation model.
