Car-following model with considering vehicle’s backward looking effect and its stability analysis
Last modified: 2016-06-23
Abstract
In this paper, an extended car-following model is derived by
considering vehicle’s backward looking effect which is based
on the optimal velocity model and the optimal velocity (OV)
function is extended by introducing variable safety distance.
Also, a new control signal including more comprehensive
information is introduced on the viewpoint of feedback control.
Furthermore, the stability condition for the model is derived and
the numerical simulation is carried out to investigate the advantage
of the proposed model with control signal which can alleviate the
traffic jams efficiently. The results are also consistent with the
theoretical analysis correspondingly.
