In your scenario most of the changing happens from the on-ramp and is aided by cooperative lane-changing of the main flow (main-flow vehicles move away from the right lane to let ramp vehicles merge). You will see an effect of lcAssertive (and also from tau) if you either - increase traffic - reduce cooperative changing - set lcAssertive to lower values (i.e 0.5 or lower)
