Based on the properties of the car-following model,we present in this paper a formula of the kinetic energy change and use the formula to study the effect of the lane changing on the kinetic energy of the system. The numerical results show that the lane changing probability and the relative velocity have great effect on the kinetic energy,but the lane changing probability and the relative speed will respectively lessen the frequency and amplitude of the change of the kinetic energy. In addition,the enhanced average kinetic energy of the system will decrease with the increase of its maximum lane changing probability.
