In this paper, the flux difference memory integral (FDMI) effect is introduced into the lattice hydrodynamic model for a two-lane freeway. The FDMI effect plays an important role on the linear stability condition, from theoretic analysis, in a two-lane system. The FDMI effect including the intensity reaction coefficient and the integral historical time are investigated on two lanes via simulation. From numerical simulation, both lane changing rate and FDMI effect strengthening the stability of traffic flow on two lanes is determined.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore how curved road and lane-changing rates affect the stability of traffic flow. Design/methodology/approach An extended two-lane lattice hydrodynamic model on a curved road accounting for the empirical lane-changing rate is presented. The linear analysis of the new model is discussed, the stability condition and the neutral stability condition are obtained. Also, the mKdV equation and its solution are proposed through nonlinear analysis, which discusses the stability of the extended model in the unstable region. Furthermore, the results of theoretical analysis are verified by numerical simulation. Findings The empirical lane-changing rate on a curved road is an important factor, which can alleviate traffic congestion. Research limitations/implications This paper does not take into account the factors such as slope, the drivers’ characters and so on in the actual traffic, which will have more or less influence on the stability of traffic flow, so there is still a certain gap with the real traffic environment. Originality/value The curved road and empirical lane-changing rate are researched simultaneously in a two-lane lattice hydrodynamic models in this paper. The improved model can better reflect the actual traffic, which can also provide a theoretical reference for the actual traffic governance.

The Stability

Considering the effect of density difference, an extended lattice hydrodynamic model for bidirectional pedestrian flow is proposed in this paper. The stability condition is obtained by the use of linear stability analysis. It is shown that the stability of pedestrian flow varies with the reaction coefficient of density difference. Based on nonlinear analysis method, the Burgers, Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) and modified Korteweg–de Vries (MKdV) equations are derived to describe the triangular shock waves, soliton waves and kink–antikink waves in the stable, metastable and unstable regions, respectively. The results show that jams may be alleviated by considering the effect of density difference. The findings also indicate that in the process of building and subway station design, a series of auxiliary facilities should be considered in order to alleviate the possible pedestrian jams.

Flux Difference

A modified lattice hydrodynamic model is proposed, in which the impact of strong wind and the optimal estimation of flux difference integral are simultaneously analyzed. Based on the control theory, the stability condition is acquired through linear analysis. The modified Korteweg-de Vries (mKdV) equation is derived via nonlinear analysis, in order to express a description of the evolution of density waves. Then, numerical simulation is conducted. From the simulation results, strong wind can largely influence the traffic flow stability. The stronger the wind becomes, the more stable the traffic flow is, to some extent. Similarly, the optimal estimation of flux difference integral also contributes to stabilizing traffic flow. The simulation results show no difference compared with the theoretical findings. In conclusion, the new model is able to make the traffic flow more stable.

Honk Effect

Understanding the pedestrian behavior contributes to traffic simulation and facility design/redesign. In practice, the interactions between individual pedestrians can lead to virtual honk effect, such as urging surrounding pedestrians to walk faster in a crowded environment. To better reflect the reality, this paper proposes a new lattice hydrodynamic model for bidirectional pedestrian flow with consideration of pedestrians’ honk effect. To this end, the concept of critical density is introduced to define the occurrence of pedestrians’ honk event. In the linear stability analysis, the stability condition of the new bidirectional pedestrian flow model is given based on the perturbation method, and the neutral stability curve is also obtained. Based on this, it is found that the honk effect has a significant impact on the stability of pedestrian flow. In the nonlinear stability analysis, the modified Korteweg–de Vries (mKdV) equation of the model is obtained based on the reductive perturbation method. By solving the mKdV equation, the kink-antikink soliton wave is obtained to describe the propagation mechanism and rules of pedestrian congestion near the neutral stability curve. The simulation example shows that the pedestrians’ honk effect can mitigate the pedestrians crowding efficiently and improve the stability of the bidirectional pedestrian flow.

Connected vehicles are expected to become commercially available by the next decade, while traffic interruption is not uncommon in the real traffic environment. In this paper, we propose a feedback control method for lattice hydrodynamic model considering the traffic interruption probability effect. The stability criterion of the new model is explored through linear stability analysis of transfer function. When the stability conditions are not satisfied, a delay feedback controller is used to control the discharging flow to suppress traffic congestion. The impact of gain coefficient and delay time on the performance is discussed. We verify the effectiveness of the devised delay feedback controller by simulations. Results show that the traffic interruption probability effect has a considerable impact on the stability of traffic flow, while the controller is effective in suppressing traffic congestion.
