Car-following Model and Its Stability Analysis

Abstract

Abstract: With the vehicles’ behavior as research object,the simulation of traffic flow is taken under different conditions. As a fundamental model of traffic flow simulation, carfollowing model is reviewed and introduced its stability analysis. The current research progress and prospect is given in the paper.

Key words: car-following model, stability analysis, traffic flows, simulation, ITS
