Car-following refers to a control process in which the following vehicle (FV) tries keep safe distance between itself and lead (LV) by adjusting its acceleration response actions of ahead. The corresponding car-following models, describe how one follows another traffic flow, form cornerstone for microscopic simulation intelligent development. One major motivation models is replicate human drive...

The basic assumption in visual angle car following models is that the following distance between successive vehicles is a function of the object (i.e. leading vehicle) width. This paper examines the validity of this assumption using two types of data. Published real traffic data from instrumented vehicles in the USA and Germany have been used to check the ability of these models to replicate re...

One of the main problems of car-like robot is robust path following in the presence of sliding effect. To tackle this problem, a robust mix H2/H∞ static state feedback control method is selected. This method is the well-known linear robust controller which is robust against external disturbance as well as model uncertainty. In this paper, the path following problem is formulated as linear matri...

The car-following model has always been a research hot spot in the field of traffic flow theory. Modeling behavior can quantify longitudinal interaction between cars, thereby understanding characteristics flow, and revealing inherent mechanisms congestion other phenomena. In fact, there is an asymmetry problem driver’s acceleration deceleration operation. existing ignores difference cars. To so...
