Analyzing the Safety Impacts of Variable Speed Limit Control on Aggregated Driving Behavior Based on Traffic Big Data

Table 3

The arithmetic average and t-test results of ASD within different density intervals under different speed limits on different lanes (“—” means the sample size is less than 15).
