This paper attempts to disclose the features of the mixed traffic flow of manually driven vehicles (MVs) and autonomous vehicles (AVs). Considering dynamic headway, the mixed traffic flow was modelled based on the improved single-land cellular automata (CA) traffic flow model (DHD) proposed by Zhang Ningxi. The established CA model was adopted to obtain the maximum flow of the mixed traffic flow and was analyzed under different proportions of AVs. On this basis, the features of the mixed traffic flow were summarized. The main results are as follows: the proportion of AVs has a significant impact on the mixed traffic flow; when the proportion reached 0.6, the flow of the whole lane was twice that of the MV traffic flow. At a low density, the AV proportion has an obvious influence on mixed traffic flow. At a high density, the mixed traffic flow changed very little, as the AV proportion increased from 0 to 5. The reason is that the flow of the whole lane is constrained by the fact that MVs cannot move faster. However, when the AV proportion reached 0.8, the flow of the whole lane became three times that at the proportion of 0.6. At the speed of 126 km/h, the flow rate was 2.5 times the speed limit of 54 km/h. The findings lay a theoretical basis for the modelling of multilane mixed traffic flow.

In this paper, the cellular automata models for motorized vehicle flow and that for bicycle flow are combined to modeling the interactions between the right-turning motorized vehicle and the driving ahead bicycle at intersection. We introduce the probability that the cross point is taken up by the same kind of vehicle during two successive time steps to describe the complex behaviors when conflict happens. The flux of both motorized vehicle and bicycle depending on the inflow rates are investigated and the spatiotemporal diagrams are also presented to show different traffic states as the inflow rates change. The simulation results show that the model can describe the interactions between motorized vehicle and bicycle. It makes foundations for future research on mixed traffic flow.

According to different driving behavioral characteristics of bus drivers, a cellular automata traffic model considering the bus lane changing behavior with scheduling parameters is proposed in this paper. Traffic bottleneck problems caused by bus stops are simulated in multiple lanes roads with no-bay bus stations. With the mixed traffic flow composed of different bus arrival rate, flow-density graph, density distribution graph, and temporal-spatial graph are presented. Furthermore, the mixed traffic flow characteristics are analyzed. Numerical experiment results show that the proposed model can generate a variety of complicated realistic phenomena in the traffic system with bus stops and provide theoretical basis for better using of traffic flow model.
