Abstract: This paper studies three-lane totally asymmetric simple exclusion processes (TASEP) with weak coupling under open boundary conditions. Here, particles can hop along each lane or hop to the adjacent lane. Besides, the lane-changing rates are inversely proportional to the system size L. Complemented by Monte Carlo simulations, mean-field analysis has been performed. The phase diagrams, density profiles and current profiles have been calculated. Moreover, the bulk-induced shock has been found in the system.
