Popis: This Paper aimed to analyze the behavior of the vehicle affected by the length of additional lane. First of all, the reproducibility of the current state of the indoor experiment data was confirmed. Concretely, the reproducibility about the behavior of rear cars of the gap was confirmed. And then, in order to evaluate the effect of additional lane from the aspect of the main line car, the influence that the confluence car gave to the behavior of the main line car was analyzed. The finding was obtained tending of the amplification of the deceleration wave and the bottleneck phenomenon to being eased for 600m in additional lane length.
