• Vehicle trajectories

In this paper the track behavior of passenger car was studied. The vehicle driving trajectory and driving direction were defined, and a classification of the type of vehicle trajectories along the curves was developed. The statistical parameters of vehicle trajectory samples in free flow and their frequency curves and cumulative frequency curves were achieved, K-S test and chi-square test were used to test normal distribution and gamma distribution for collected sample data, and the probability density functions were given. At last, dispersion degree between vehicle trajectory random variable and the characteristic value of cumulative frequency curve in each key cross section in curves was analyzied. The proposed conclusion can provide theoretical support for the reasonable optimization of widen curve, design of alignment and the management of counter flow conflicts.
