In this paper, a new two-lane lattice model of traffic flow is proposed with the consideration of multi-anticipation effect. The linear stability condition of two-lane traffic is derived with the multi-anticipation effect term by linear stability analysis, which shows that the stable region enlarges with the number of multi-anticipation sites increasing. Nonlinear analysis near the critical point is carried out to obtain kink–antikink soliton solution of the mKdV equation with the multi-anticipation effect term. Numerical simulation also shows that the multi-anticipation effect can suppress the traffic jam efficiently with lane changing in two-lane system.

In this paper, a new lattice model is proposed with the consideration of the driver’s anticipation effect with passing for two-lane traffic system. The linear stability condition and the mKdV equation which are correlative to the driver’s anticipation effect with passing are derived from linear stability analysis and nonlinear analysis, respectively. Numerical simulation shows that the driver’s anticipation effects with passing can efficiently enhance the stability of traffic flow under lane changing on two-lane highway.

A lattice model is proposed for three-lane traffic flow. The extended lane-changing rates are presented to mimic the lane-changing behavior by considering the congestion degree at the present site and the acceptance degree at the targeted site. The stability condition of the model is derived by applying the linear stability method. The spatiotemporal evolution of traffic flow transfer rates is investigated. The results demonstrate that the new model can reproduce the characteristics of lane changing.

Conventional Models

Many cellular automaton models (CA models) have been applied to analyze traffic flow. When analyzing multilane traffic flow, it is important how we define lane-changing rules. However, conventional models have used simple lane-changing rules that are dependent only on the distance from neighboring vehicles. We propose a new lane-changing rule considering velocity differences with neighboring vehicles; in addition, we embed the rules into a variant of the Nagel–Schreckenberg (NaSch) model, called the S-NFS model, by considering an open boundary condition. Using numerical simulations, we clarify the basic characteristics resulting from different assumptions with respect to lane changing.

Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control

In this paper, an improved multianticipative cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC) model is proposed based on fully utilizing multivehicle information obtained by vehicle-to-vehicle communication. More flexible, effective and practical spacing strategy is embedded into the model. We design a new lane-changing rule for CACC vehicles on the freeway. The rule considers that CACC vehicles are more inclined to form a platoon for coordinated control. Furthermore, we investigate the effect of CACC vehicles on two-lane traffic flow. The results demonstrate that introducing CACC vehicles into mixed traffic and forming CACC platoon to cooperative control can improve traffic efficiency and enhance road capacity to a certain extent.

Traffic characteristics at highway sections are usually varying based on many factors including type of highways, geometric design and drivers’ behavior at a given area (country).  This paper focuses on finding the characteristics for traffic on selected normal freeway section at Baghdad city.  Video recordings and speed gun are used to collect data from a basic freeway section within Mohammed Al-Qassim freeway that represents the busiest freeway at the city.  The estimated characteristics include the distribution of traffic among the available lanes, desired speed of traffic, lane-changing frequency, and headway distribution.  For traffic distribution, it is found that traffic concentrates more in off side lane compared with other lanes for moderate to high flow rates.  Regression models have been developed based on the available lane distribution data.  The lane found to be increased with the increasing of traffic flow and the desired speeds found to be normally distributed.  Examining the headway data shows that the shifted negative exponential distribution can be used to represent the headway distribution for low to intermediate traffic flow only.  The findings of this work provides a good database for traffic characteristics for Iraqi highways as little effort has been given in previous research work.
