交通流双车跟驰模型与数值仿真

基于全速度差(FVD)模型,考虑双前车信息的影响,提出了交通流双车跟驰模型.通过线性稳定性分析,得到了改进模型的稳定性条件. 与FVD模型对比研究表明,改进模型的稳定区域有明显增加.数值模拟结果表明,改进模型通过调节次近邻前车信息,可以避免FVD模型中因为反应系数较小时出现负速度的缺陷.同时也表明次近邻前车对交通流存在不可忽视的影响. 关键词： 交通流 双车跟驰模型 模拟     

A new traffic model with the consideration of coupling effect with two lanes

This paper introduces a new two-lane high-order continuum model by embedding the two delay time scales continuum traffic model presented by Xue (2003 Phys. Rev. E 68 066123) into the multi-lane model proposed by Daganzo (1997 Transpn. Res. B 31 83) with the consideration of the coupling effect between the vehicles of two lanes in instantaneous traffic situation and lane-change effect. In the novel model, the coupling effect of two lanes and phenomena of lane change, which were not discussed in Daganzo's model and Xue's model, are taken into account. Numerical simulation shows that it is in accordance with real traffic flow. This obviously indicates that the new phenomenon and behaviour are analogous results as single lane presented by Xue, and the proposed model is more reasonable on two lanes. Furthermore, the generation rate between two lanes is also investigated. The results show that the formation and diffusion of traffic shock wave can be better simulated on two lanes.
