Abstract: A lattice model is proposed for three-lane traffic flow. The extended lane-changing rates are presented to mimic the lane-changing behavior by considering the congestion degree at the present site and the acceptance degree at the targeted site. The stability condition of the model is derived by applying the linear stability method. The spatiotemporal evolution of traffic flow transfer rates is investigated. The results demonstrate that the new model can reproduce the characteristics of lane changing.
