A New Car-Following Model with the Consideration of the Leader’s Acceleration

Article Preview

Abstract:

Based on the optimal velocity difference model (for short, OVDM) proposed by Peng et al., a new car-following model is presented by considering the leading cars’ acceleration. The linear stability condition of the new model is obtained by using the linear stability theory. Numerical simulation shows that the new model can avoid the disadvantage of negative velocity occurred in the OVDM by adjusting the coefficient of the leaders acceleration and can stabilize traffic flow more effectively.
