Abstract:
In the background that congestion control is one of key problems in intelligent transportation system, based on the pioneer work of Konishi et al., we propose a new congestion control car-following model by considering the multi-vehicles' steady-state desired speed effect. By using the system control theory, the stability criterion is derived. To check the validity of the present theoretical scheme, the numerical simulation is carried out for the new model, and the simulation results show that comparing with the previous research results, multi-vehicles' steady-state desired speed effect can enhance the stability of traffic flow, and reduce the effect range of traffic congestion. Therefore, the new model can suppress the traffic jam more effectively and make the traffic flow operate more smoothly and orderly.
