Abstract
The Federal Roads System in Malaysia mainly consist of rural two-lane highways in which a single lane is provided for each direction of travel. This kind of roadway does not have any road barriers and hence, will cause higher levels of interaction between vehicles travelling in the same and opposing directions. The amount of overtaking opportunities available is dependent on headway and speed distributions for a given traffic volume. Drivers that are travelling at less than their desired speed due to lack of passing opportunities will cause formation of platoons and platooning is an important phenomenon at two-lane highways. As platooning is related to headway and speed of vehicles, analysis on platooning headway and speed were conducted in this study. In addition, due to the mixed traffic composition in Malaysia, further analyses were conducted to investigate the effect of heavy vehicles and motorcycles on platooning behavior.
