An interactive simulation demonstrating why zipper merging (late merging) is more efficient than early merging. Adjust driver behaviors and compare strategies side-by-side with real-time throughput and fairness metrics.

How willing drivers are to let others merge (0 = selfish, 1 = cooperative)

How close do cars follow each other (0 = close, 1 = far)
