Honk Effect

In this paper, a new lattice model is presented with the consideration of the honk effect. The stability condition is obtained by the linear stability analysis. The modified Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation is derived to describe the phase transition of traffic flow through nonlinear analysis. The space is divided into three regions: the stable region, the metastable region and the unstable region, respectively. And numerical simulation is carried out to validate the analytic results. The results implied that the honk effect could stabilize traffic flow and suppress the traffic jam in lattice model of traffic flow.

The Stability

At present, drivers can rely on road communication technology to obtain the current traffic status information, and the development of intelligent transportation makes self-driving possible. In this paper, considering the mixed traffic flow with self-driving vehicles and the taillight effect, a new macro-two-lane lattice model is established. Combined with the concept of critical density, the judgment conditions for vehicles to take braking measures are given. Based on the linear analysis, the stability conditions of the new model are obtained, and the mKdV equation describing the evolution mechanism of density waves is derived through the nonlinear stability analysis. Finally, with the help of numerical simulation, the phase diagram and kink–anti-kink waveform of neutral stability conditions are obtained, and the effects of different parameters of the model on traffic flow stability are analyzed. The results show that the braking probability, the proportion of self-driving vehicles and the critical density have significant effects on the traffic flow stability. Considering taillight effect and increasing the mixing ratio of self-driving vehicles can effectively enhance the stability of traffic flow, but a larger critical density will destroy the stability of traffic flow.

In this paper, a new lattice model is proposed with the consideration of the multiple optimal current differences for two-lane traffic system.

A new lattice model is proposed by taking into account the interruption probability with passing for two-lane freeway. The effect of interruption probability with passing is investigated about the linear stability condition and the mKdV equation through linear stability analysis and nonlinear analysis, respectively. Furthermore, numerical simulation is carried out to study traffic phenomena resulted from the interruption probability with passing in two-lane system. The results show that the interruption probability with passing can improve the stability of traffic flow for low reaction coefficient while the interruption probability with passing can destroy the stability of traffic flow for high reaction coefficient on two-lane highway.
