Abstract
A detailed, human factor based simulation has been developed for following, overtaking, and merging on freeways. Simulation parameters were chosen to provide correspondence with human factor data and with several types of macroscopic and microscopic traffic measurements.
Simulation results provide some guides to the vulnerabilities of driver types, and to the accident potentials of frequently occurring situations.
