An Algorithm-optimized Car-following Model Based on Chengdu Ring Expressway Traffic Flow Characteristics

Published: 30 July 2020 Publication History

Abstract

In this research, we present an algorithm-optimized car-following model to describe the overall effect on the Chengdu ring expressway (National Expressway G4202) in China from May to October, 2019, based on dynamic data observed from our intelligent transportation system. To validate the feasibility of our model, stability analysis is performed to obtain the critical stability condition of local traffic system, and numerical simulation is also carried out to illustrate that uncertainty of accelerated velocity of individual vehicles can influence these vehicles starting process and traffic flow stability essentially.
