An Extended Optimal Velocity Model of Traffic Flow with Backward Power Cooperation

Abstract:

In this paper, an extended traffic flow model which considers the strategy of the backward power cooperation is proposed by taking account of the power assist of the nearest rear car. The stability condition of the new model is derived by using the linear stability theory with finding that the power assist of the nearest rear car can stabilize the traffic flow and efficiently suppress traffic jams. Moreover, the modified Korteweg-de Vries (mKdV) equation is derived to describe the traffic density waves in the unstable region by using the reductive perturbation method and nonlinear analysis..
