A vehicle type-based approach to model car following behaviors in simulation programs (case study: Car-motorcycle following behavior)

Understanding Driver Car-Following Behavior Using a Fuzzy Logic Car-Following Model

A New Model of Car Following Behavior Based on Lane Change Effects Using Anticipation and Evaluation Idea

This paper aims to investigate a new and intricate behavior of immediate follower during the lane change of leader vehicle. Accordingly, the mentioned situation is a transient state in car following behavior during which the follower vehicle considerably deviates from conventional car following models for a limited time, which is a complex state including lateral and longitudinal movement simul...

Prediction of Car Following Behavior Based on the Instantaneous Reaction Time using an ANFIS-CART Based Model

Car-following models are among the most important components of micro traffic flow simulation which is studiedby transportation experts to evaluate new applications of intelligent transportation systems. Until now, several carfollowingmodels have been proposed. An obvious disadvantage of the former models is the great number of parameterswhich are difficult to calibrate. In th...

A Car Following Model for Motorway Traffic

This paper presents a new car-following model which aims to capture some of the key motorway flow characteristics, namely traffic breakdown, hysteresis, shockwave propagation as well as close-following behaviour. The model proposes three different driving states: non-alert, alert and close-following. Under the different driving states, drivers apply different reaction time and acceleration. Thi...

Model Predictive Control System Design using ARMAX Identification Method for Car-following Behavior

The control of car following is essential due to its safety and its operational efficiency. For this purpose, this paper builds a model of car following behavior based on ARMAX structure from a real traffic dataset and design a Model Predictive Control (MPC) system. Based on the relative distance and relative acceleration of each instant, the MPC predicts the future behavior of the leader vehic...
