In this paper, a new car-following model is proposed by considering the drivers’ aggressive characteristics. The stable condition and the modified Korteweg-de Vries (mKdV) equation are obtained by the linear stability analysis and nonlinear analysis, which show that the drivers’ aggressive characteristics can improve the stability of traffic flow. Furthermore, the numerical results show that the drivers’ aggressive characteristics increase the stable region of traffic flow and can reproduce the evolution and propagation of small perturbation.

Modeling the dynamics of a traffic system involves using the principles of both physical and social sciences since it is composed of vehicles as well as drivers. A novel car-following model is proposed in this paper by incorporating the socio-psychological aspects of drivers into the dynamics of a purely physics-based spring–mass–damper mechanical system to represent the driver–vehicle longitudinal movements in a traffic stream. The crux of this model is that a traffic system can be viewed as various masses interacting with each other by means of springs and dampers attached between them. While the spring and damping constants represent the driver behavioral parameters, the mass component represents the vehicle characteristics. The proposed model when tested for its ability to capture the traffic system dynamics both at micro, driver, and macro, stream, levels behaved pragmatically. The stability analysis carried out using perturbation method also revealed that the proposed model is both locally and asymptotically stable.

We propose a new traffic model which is based on the traditional OV (optimal velocity) car-following model. Here, some realistic factors are regarded as uncertain quantity, such as the headway distance. Our aim is to analyze and discuss the stability of car-following model under the constraint of uncertain factors. Then, according to the principle of expected value in fuzzy theory, an improved OV traffic model is constructed. Simulation results show that our proposed model can avoid collisions effectively under uncertain environment, and its stability can also be improved. Moreover, we discuss its stability as some parameters change, such as the relaxation time.
