  Abstract:   A decision-based advancing strategy is proposed and analyzed in the framework of the one-directional two-lane spring-block traffic model. A fraction q of cars is allowed to change lanes, while the others will keep their initial lane. One single car in the row is acting with decision-based strategy. Its lane-changing attempt is decided based on the behavior of other cars in the row. As a function of the parameter q the winning probability and the average gain in the advancement for this car is computed. It is concluded, that this decision-based strategy used only by one car in the row is advantageous in any conditions for the driver.

Keywords: highway traffic modeling; spring-block models; advancing strategies; competition.
