The model on the following vehicle's acceleration is formulated as a linear function of the optimal velocity and the desired distance, with reactiontime delay in elements. The linear stability condition of the model is derived. The results demonstrate that the stability of traffic flow is improved by introducing the desired following distance, increasing the time gap in the desired following distance or decreasing the reaction-time delay. The simulation results show that by taking into account the desired following distance as well as the optimal velocity, the multi-anticipative model allows longer reaction-time delay in achieving stable traffic flows.

Simulation model of speed control for the moving-block systems under ERTMS Level 3

“…Eq. (1) is adapted from a mult i-anticipatory model proposed by Chen and Liu [32] to model car following behaviour. It is an extension of a strand of well-studied carfollowing models based on the concept of an 'optimal velocity'.…”

“…The concept was first proposed by Bando et al [29]; the difference between the optimal velocity and the velocity of the considered vehicle is assumed to be a stimu lus for driver's actions. Chen and Liu [32] consider the desired following distance as another explicit stimulus and formulate the following vehicle's acceleration as a linear function of the optimal velocity and the desired distance.…”

“…We adopt also from Chen and Liu [32] the follo wing functions to model the optimal velocity in relation to the space gap: Eq. (2) models the optimal velocity as a function of the space gap, while Eq.…”

“…Chen and Liu [32] derived the theoretical condition for linear stability of the dual control model of Eq. (1) - (3).…”

Modelling heterogeneous traffic dynamics by considering the influence of V2V safety messages

“…In the past few decades, many researchers have actively modelled the car-following behaviours of regular vehicles (RVs) [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. Bando et al [11] proposed an optimal velocity model (OVM) based on the assumption that a driver has a desired optimal velocity while driving.…”
