A Control Method Considering Two Velocity Difference Effect in the Car Following Model

Abstract:

A modified car following model is put forward considering the headway distance of two successive vehicles in front. A control method to suppress traffic congestion is proposed for car following model. According to the control theory, the stability conditions are derived. The feedback signals, which act on our traffic system, consider two velocity difference effect. The control signals will play an effect only if the traffic state is in congestion. The corresponding numerical simulation results are agree well with our theoretical analysis.
