An extended heterogeneous car-following model accounting for anticipation driving behavior and mixed maximum speeds

The optimal driving speeds of the different vehicles may be different for the same headway. In the optimal velocity function of the optimal velocity (OV) model, the maximum speed $v_{\max }$ is an important parameter determining the optimal driving speed. A vehicle with higher maximum speed is more willing to drive faster than that with lower maximum speed in similar situation. By incorporating the anticipation driving behavior of relative velocity and mixed maximum speeds of different percentages into optimal velocity function, an extended heterogeneous car-following model is presented in this paper. The analytical linear stable condition for this extended heterogeneous traffic model is obtained by using linear stability theory. Numerical simulations are carried out to explore the complex phenomenon resulted from the cooperation between anticipation driving behavior and heterogeneous maximum speeds in the optimal velocity function. The analytical and numerical results all demonstrate that strengthening driver's anticipation effect can improve the stability of heterogeneous traffic flow, and increasing the lowest value in the mixed maximum speeds will result in more instability, but increasing the value or proportion of the part already having higher maximum speed will cause different stabilities at high or low traffic densities.

随机计及相对速度的交通流跟驰模型

从研究微观个体车辆行为出发，考虑车辆加速过程的不确定性，提出了随机计及相对速度的 交通流跟驰模型(SR-OV模型).对随机相对速度的跟驰模型的动力学方程进行稳定性分析，得 到与Bando跟驰模型不同的稳定性判据，其稳定性优于Bando模型.运用摄动理论分析交通过 程中密度波的变化，结果表明，在发生交通阻塞相变时，交通密度波以mKdV方程描述的扭结 -反扭结波演化.对随机相对速度跟驰模型进行数值模拟和分析，结果发现车流速度的变化小 于Bando模型的速度变化，而且与随机概率有关，当随机考虑相对速度的概率增大时，初始 的小扰动不会放大对车流产生影响，甚至长时间就消失，这与Bando模型完全不同.数值模拟 所得到的相图与解析解相符合,而且交通流稳定区域大于Bando模型.从车间距-速度演化图上 ，随着随机概率的增大，SR-OV模型在初始时存在的滞后现象，随着时间的增长，趋于稳定 状态后，滞后曲线收敛于一小区域，滞后效应被削弱.这完全不同于Bando模型，在Bando模 型中，滞后曲线由一点向外扩散，滞后曲线区域越来越大，车流趋于不稳定状态. 关键词： 交通流 跟驰模型 稳定性判据 相对速度     

A new car-following model with consideration of the traffic interruption probability

In this paper, we present a new car-following model by taking into account the effects of the traffic interruption probability on the car-following behaviour of the following vehicle. The stability condition of the model is obtained by using the linear stability theory. The modified Korteweg--de Vries (KdV) equation is constructed and solved, and three types of traffic flows in the headway sensitivity space---stable, metastable, and unstable---are classified. Both the analytical and simulation results show that the traffic interruption probability indeed has an influence on driving behaviour, and the consideration of traffic interruption probability in the car-following model could stabilize traffic flow.     

A new car-following model with the consideration of anticipation optimal velocity

In this paper, a new anticipation optimal velocity model (AOVM) is proposed by considering anticipation effect on the basis of the full velocity difference model (FVDM) for car-following theory on single lane. The linear stability condition is derived from linear stability analysis. Starting and braking process is investigated for the car motion under a traffic signal, which shows that the results accord with empirical traffic values. Especially AOVM can avoid the disadvantage of the unrealistically high deceleration appearing in FVDM. Furthermore, numerical simulation shows that AOVM might avoid the disadvantage of negative velocity and headway that occur at small sensitivity coefficients in the FVDM since the anticipation effect is taken into account in AOVM, which means that collision disappears with the consideration of an appropriate anticipation parameter.     

Analysis of drivers' characteristics on continuum model with traffic jerk effect

In this paper we propose an enhanced continuum model for traffic flow considering the effect of driver characteristics and traffic jerk. Based on the linear stability condition, the sufficient conditions of model stability is given. In the nonlinear stability analysis, we derive the KdV–Burger equation to describe the propagation characteristics of traffic density waves near the neutral stability curve. The simulation example verified that the driver characteristics and traffic jerk have a significant impact on the stability of the traffic flow and emissions.     

Multiple car-following model of traffic flow and numerical simulation

On the basis of the full velocity difference (FVD) model, an improved multiple car-following (MCF) model is proposed by taking into account multiple information inputs from preceding vehicles. The linear stability condition of the model is obtained by using the linear stability theory. Through nonlinear analysis, a modified Korteweg-de Vries equation is constructed and solved. The traffic jam can thus be described by the kink--antikink soliton solution for the mKdV equation. The improvement of this new model over the previous ones lies in the fact that it not only theoretically retains many strong points of the previous ones, but also performs more realistically than others in the dynamical evolution of congestion. Furthermore, numerical simulation of traffic dynamics shows that the proposed model can avoid the disadvantage of negative velocity that occurs at small sensitivity coefficients λ in the FVD model by adjusting the information on the multiple leading vehicles. No collision occurs and no unrealistic deceleration appears in the improved model.

Time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation in a car-following model considering the driver’s physical delay

In this paper, an extended car-following model considering the delay of the driver’s response in sensing headway is proposed to describe the traffic jam. It is shown that the stability region decreases when the driver’s physical delay in sensing headway increases. The phase transition among the freely moving phase, the coexisting phase, and the uniformly congested phase occurs below the critical point. By applying the reductive perturbation method, we get the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau (TDGL) equation from the car-following model to describe the transition and critical phenomenon in traffic flow. We show the connection between the TDGL equation and the mKdV equation describing the traffic jam.

And the two scenes of vehicle stopping once and four times have been simulated.

Mixed traffic flow model considering illegal lane-changing behavior: Simulations in the framework of Kerner’s three-phase theory

This paper studies the mixed motorized vehicle (m$m$-vehicle) and non-motorized vehicle (nm$nm$-vehicle) traffic flow in the m$m$-vehicle lane. We study the formation mechanism of the nm$nm$-vehicle illegal lane-changing behavior (NILB) by considering the overtaking motivation and the traffic safety awareness. In the framework of Kerner’s three-phase theory, we propose a model for the mixed traffic flow by introducing a new set of rules. A series of simulations are carried out in order to reveal the formation, travel process and influence of the mixed traffic flow. The simulation results show that the proposed model can be used to study not only the travel characteristic of the mixed traffic flow, but also some complex traffic problems such as traffic breakdown, moving synchronized flow pattern (MSP) and moving jam. Moreover, the results illustrate that the proposed model reflects the phenomenon of the mixed flow and the influence of the MSP caused by the NILB, which is consistent with the actual traffic system, and thus this work is helpful for the management of the mixed traffic flow.     

Traffic bottleneck characteristics caused by the reduction of lanes in an optimal velocity model

In this paper, the lane reduction bottleneck is investigated using the optimal velocity model, in which two kinds of vehicles (fast and slow) are introduced. The asymmetric lane changing rules in the slowdown section and the lane squeezing behaviors at the bottleneck are taken into account. Under the periodic boundary condition, the numerical simulations are performed. The traffic states change with increasing density. And an interesting phenomenon of ratio inversion appears. When the current saturates, the headway and velocity discontinuously vary with the position. In addition, traffic patterns and the phase transition points depend greatly on the speed limit and the length of the slowdown section.     

An improved cellular automaton model considering the effect of traffic lights and driving behaviour

This paper proposes an improved cellular automaton model to describe the urban traffic flow with the consideration of traffic light and driving behaviour effects. Based on the model,the characteristics of the urban traffic flow on a single-lane road are investigated under three different control strategies,i.e.,the synchronized,the green wave and the random strategies. The fundamental diagrams and time-space patterns of the traffic flows are provided for these strategies respectively. It finds that the dynamical transition to the congested flow appears when the vehicle density is higher than a critical level. The saturated flow is less dependent on the cycle time and the strategies of the traffic light control,while the critical vehicle density varies with the cycle time and the strategies. Simulated results indicate that the green wave strategy is proven to be the most effective one among the above three control strategies.     

Modeling the heterogeneous traffic flow considering the effect of self-stabilizing and autonomous vehicles

With the increasing maturity of automatic driving technology,the homogeneous traffic flow will gradually evolve into the heterogeneous traffic flow,which consists of human-driving and autonomous vehicles.To better study the characteristics of the heterogeneous traffic system,this paper proposes a new car-following model for autonomous vehicles and heterogeneous traffic flow,which considers the self-stabilizing effect of vehicles.Through linear and nonlinear methods,this paper deduces and analyzes the stability of such a car-following model with the self-stabilizing effect.Finally,the model is verified by numerical simulation.Numerical results show that the self-stabilizing effect can make the heterogeneous traffic flow more stable,and that increasing the self-stabilizing coefficient or historical time length can strengthen the stability of heterogeneous traffic flow and alleviate traffic congestion effectively.In addition,the heterogeneous traffic flow can also be stabilized with a higher proportion of autonomous vehicles.     

洪德耦合的调控与轨道选择Mott相变

洪德耦合相互作用是导致多轨道体系发生轨道选择Mott相变的重要因素之一. 通过调控洪德耦合相互作用来研究其不同组成部分对轨道选择Mott相变的作用. 利用基于Lanczos 求解器的动力学平均场理论, 对比了双轨道的J模型和Jz模型的金属-绝缘体相变, 并重点讨论洪德耦合中的自旋翻转项和电子对跃迁项以及轨道宽度比值W₂/W₁如何影响轨道选择Mott 相变. 在J模型的相图中, Mott选择相占有较大的区域, 而Jz模型的轨道选择Mott 相只存在于一个很狭窄的区域内, 这说明自旋翻转项及电子对跳跃项是有利于轨道选择Mott相变发生的关键因素. 此外当轨道宽度之比大于W₂/W₁=0.7时, Jz 模型的轨道选择Mott 相会完全消失, 而J模型中只要轨道宽度不同都存在轨道选择Mott相. 因而, 简化后的Jz 模型只是在特定条件下才适合于研究轨道选择Mott相变.
