Lane Management Techniques (LMT) discussed in this paper is a traffic flow control measure for multilane freeways by means of restricting lane access by vehicle type and limiting speed by lane and by vehicle type. Five methods of lane management are analyzed and compared in this paper. Lane utilization ratio, times of lane-changing, and speed difference between different lanes and different vehicle-types are selected and used as evaluation indices.. Using an eight-lane freeway in southern China as an example, we developed a calculation model considering variables such as road, traffic and management conditions. Based on the simulation software using VISSIM, a suitable lane management measure is selected for this eight-lane freeway. LMT can also be applied to other multilane freeways by taking different design parameters and traffic composition into consideration.
