Abstract:

Weaving is one of the fundamental acts of driving in traffic which every driver on our streets and highways practices continually, yet very little scientific information is available on the subject. The study of weaving movements has been chosen as a topic for this paper with the hope that research students may find the method outlined herein a practical guide to further investigations in a subject that deserves considerable attention. A "weave" as defined for purposes of this study is the movement of a car from one lane to the next adjacent lane. The presence of other vehicles complicates the procedure of the weaving vehicle, frequently retarding or hurrying its crossover and limiting its range of lateral movement. The amount of this type of interference is a basic factor in determining the frequency with which weaves can be made at any particular location.
