Nowadays, vehicles are the most important means of transportation in our daily lifes. During the last few decades, many studies have been carried out in the field of intelligent vehicles and significant results on the behavior of car-following and lane-change maneuvers have been achieved. However, the effects of lane-change on the car-following models have been relatively neglected. This effect is a temporary state in car-following behavior during which the follower vehicle considerably deviates from conventional car-following models for a limited time. This paper aims to investigate the behavior of the immediate follower during the lane-change of its leader vehicle. Based on a closer inspection of the microstructure behavior of real drivers, this temporary state is divided into two stages of anticipation and evaluation. Afterwards, a novel and adaptive neuro-fuzzy model that considers human driving factors is proposed to simulate the behavior of real drivers. Comparison between model results and real traffic data reveals that the proposed model can describe anticipation and evaluation behavior with smaller errors. The anticipation and evaluation model can modify current car-following models so as to accurately simulate the behavior of an immediate follower which leads to an enhancement of car-following applications such as driving assistance and collision avoidance systems.
