Abstract In this work, the equilibrium optimal flux deviation is explored as a control signal under V2X environment via traffic modeling of the lattice hydrodynamic model. According to the control theory, the sufficient stable condition can be deduced. In addition, numerical simulation is implemented for the early time impact, the steady-state effect, and the hysteresis phenomenon of traffic flow with the increase of the feedback gain response to the equilibrium optimal flux deviation. The result demonstrates that the equilibrium optimal flux deviation effect has significantly positive influence on the stability of the traffic flow.

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.

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.

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

In the actual traffic, there are not only cars, but also buses, trucks and other vehicles. These vehicles with different maximum speeds or security headway or both are interspersed irregularly to form a heterogeneous traffic flow. In addition, most of the maximum speed of modern cars is hardly affected by gradients due to the fact that the car engine and brakes are rarely operated at their max while the maximum speed of trucks is affected. Considering that the performance of various types of vehicles is multifarious and the vehicles sometimes drive on the road with slopes, a novel two-lane lattice hydrodynamic model on a gradient road considering heterogeneous traffic flow is proposed in this paper. In order to verify the rationality of the model, the linear stability analysis is carried out first, that is, the linear stability conditions are derived from the linear stability theory and the stability curve is drawn accordingly. The results of the above analysis prove that the three factors studied in this paper, namely, time lane change, slope and mixing of different types of vehicles, all have a significant influence on the stability of traffic flow. The modified Korteweg–de Vries (mKdV) equation is deduced by the nonlinear analysis method, which can describe the propagation characteristics of the traffic density waves near the critical point. Last but not least, the numerical simulation for new model is conducted and the numerical simulation results obtained are in good agreement with theoretical ones. In summary, increasing the lane changing rate or the slope on the uphill can improve the traffic flow stability. What is more, increasing the slope can lower the traffic flow stability on the downhill. Finally, in the heterogeneous traffic flow of different types of vehicles, the vehicles with larger security headway will make traffic flow difficult to stabilize, as do the vehicles with larger maximum speed.

Predictive Effect

In actual driving, the driver can estimate the traffic condition ahead at the next moment in terms of the current traffic information, which describes the driver’s predictive effect. Due to this factor, a novel two-dimensional lattice hydrodynamic model considering a driver’s predictive effect is proposed in this paper. The stability condition of the novel model is obtained by performing the linear stability analysis method, and the phase diagram between the driver’s sensitivity coefficient and traffic density is drawn. The nonlinear analysis of the model is conducted and the kink-antikink of modified Korteweg-de Vries (mKdV) equation is derived, which describes the propagation characteristics of the traffic density flow waves near the critical point. The numerical simulation is executed to explore how the driver’s predictive effect affects the traffic flow stability. Numerical results coincide well with theoretical analysis results, which indicates that the predictive effect of drivers can effectively avoid traffic congestion and the fraction of eastbound cars can also improve the stability of traffic flow to a certain extent.

Novel Model

A modified lattice hydrodynamic model is proposed by considering the driver’s sensory memory and the average optimal velocity effect field. The stability conditions of the novel model are further analyzed theoretically through the linear analysis. The nonlinear modified Korteweg–de Vries (mKdV) equation near the critical point is obtained, which can describe the jamming transition of traffic flow properly. Numerical simulations for the novel model are carried out and the results validate that the traffic jam can be suppressed efficiently by considering the average optimal velocity effect field and driver’s sensory memory. Besides, the energy consumption simulation is devised to investigate the stability of the traffic system. Eventually, PMES data is adopted to calibrate and evaluate the parameters of the proposed model, which proves that it precisely reflects the evolution of traffic flow. All the simulation results verify the feasibility and validity of this model.

An extended lattice hydrodynamic model with time delay is proposed under non-lane discipline. We try to grasp the impacts of the non-lane discipline of the considered lattice sites. Linear stability analysis of the proposed model is executed and the stability criterion is obtained. Using the reductive perturbation method, we investigate nonlinear analysis of the proposed model and derive the mKdV equation and its solution, which could reveal the propagation of density waves. We analyze the effect of time delay, the ratio of lane deviation and the control coefficient on the stability of traffic flow via numerical experiments. We find that those indices play an important role in the stability of traffic flow. The longer the time delay, the more unstable the system becomes. Also, the ratio of lane deviation and the control coefficient is able to more quickly dissipate the traffic congestions occurring in traffic flow.

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.
