The difference of drivers' anticipation behaviors in a new macro model of traffic flow and numerical simulation

Publication date: Available online 26 June 2018Source: Physics Letters AAuthor(s): Guanghan Peng, Shuhong Yang, Hongzhuan ZhaoAbstractA valuable consideration is inserted into car-following theory to investigate the difference of drivers' anticipation. Furthermore, a fresh macro traffic model involving the difference of the drivers' anticipation is deduced from the car-following model by applying transformation relationship from micro to macro variables. And this effect resulted from the difference of the drivers' anticipation is observed via numerical simulation. The results show that the difference of drivers' anticipation has a negligible impact on traffic flow.
