Bifurcation Analysis of a Class of ‘car Following’ Traffic Models Ii: Variable Reaction times and Aggressive Drivers
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we continue the bifurcation analysis on follow-the-leader traffic models started in [6]. Two new aspects are included in the model: variable reaction time and aggressiveness of the drivers. Variable reaction time changes especially the periodic dynamics in the model. We show that more aggressiveness has a stabilizing effect on the traffic flow.

متن کاملSubcritical Hopf bifurcations in a car-following model with reaction-time delay
A nonlinear car-following model of highway traffic is considered, which includes the reaction-time delay of drivers. Linear stability analysis shows that the uniform flow equilibrium of the system loses its stability via Hopf bifurcations and thus oscillations can appear. The stability and amplitudes of the oscillations are determined with the help of normal-form calculations of the Hopf bifurc...
