A Microscopic Heterogeneous Traffic Flow Model Considering Distance Headway

The intelligent driver (ID) model characterizes traffic behavior with a constant acceleration exponent and does not follow physics. This results in unrealistic behavior. In this paper, new microscopic heterogeneous flow is proposed which improves the performance of ID model. forward lateral distance headways are used to characterize stability models examined over 1000 m circular road disturbance after 30 s. obtained show that more stable than evaluated an 1800 for 150 s platoon 51 vehicles. Results presented indicate evolves realistically because it based on headway.
