The resulting model inherits the realistic dynamics achieved by a two-lane traffic model and aims to incorporate phenomena caused by driver-driver interactions. To achieve this goal, a game-theoretic description of driver interaction was developed. This game-theoretic formalization allows one to model different lane-changing behaviors and to keep track of mobility performance. We simulate the evolution of cooperation, traffic flow, and mobility performance for different modeled behaviors. The analysis of these results indicates a mobility optimization process achieved by drivers{\textquoteright} interactions.}, doi = {10.1371/journal.pone.0165381}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1371\%2Fjournal.pone.0165381}, author = {Cort{\'e}s-Berrueco, Luis E. and Gershenson, Carlos and Stephens, Christopher R.} }
