Car-following: a historical review
Transportation Research Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behaviour, 1999In recent years, the topic of car-following has become of increased importance in traffic engineering and safety research. Models of this phenomenon, which describe the interaction between (typically) adjacent vehicles in the same lane, now form the cornerstone for many important areas of research including (a) simulation modelling, where the car ...

Review of Car-Following Theory
Transportation Engineering Journal of ASCE, 1973Steadily increasing volumes of traffic and the accompanying concern for safety have spawned the need for a thorough understanding of the dynamic characteristics of vehicular flow. Car-following theory has been developed as a mathematical description of traffic flow on long, straight highways in dense flow conditions.

1983
The automobile is a pervasive feature of modern technological societies despite its accompanying problems of pollution, accidents, and congestion. In the last 25 years a vast amount of literature has been published which we might classify as “traffic science.” This science has attempted to understand through modeling and data gathering the traffic ...

A Generalization of Linear Car-Following Theory
Operations Research, 1966The linear theory of single-lane traffic flow is generalized by using an integral transform technique well-known in other branches of applied science. This technique introduces the idea of a memory function that describes the way in which a driver processes the information he receives from a lead vehicle.

Nonlinear Effects in the Dynamics of Car Following
Operations Research, 1961It is assumed that the velocity of a car at time t is some (nonlinear) function of the spacial headway at time t − Δ, so the equations of motion for a sequence of cars consists of a set of differential-difference equations. There is a special family of velocity-headway relations that agrees well with experimental data for steady flow, and that also ...

Interdriver Differences in Car-Following
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2006This paper examines the car-following behavior of individual drivers in real traffic on the basis of vehicle trajectory data extracted from high-resolution digital images collected at a high frequency from a helicopter. These data are used to cross-compare seven car-following models regarding their average performances as well as their specific ...

A study of automatic car following
IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology, 1968Virtually all proposed vehicle control systems for highway automation must include a steady-state car-following mode. This mode was intensively investigated for various situations where headway and relative velocity inputs were used. In addition, a fundamental relationship between the flow capacity of an automated highway and the small-signal ...

Driver Anticipation in Car Following
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2012In normal driving conditions, drivers can usually anticipate with a good degree of accuracy the movements of vehicles ahead of them. Such anticipation can reduce the gaps between vehicles and produce high flows on freeway lanes. This anticipation effect is introduced in a car-following model in continuous space and discrete time, along with a set of ...

Composite car following models
Transportation Research, 1974Abstract This paper addresses previous proposed car-following models and compares them with empirically collected data obtained through aerial photogrammetric techniques, and considers the possibility of using “composite” models to describe the real world situations. Four models are revisited, namely those associated with Chandler et al.

Statistica Neerlandica, 1964
SummaryThe car‐following law tries to describe the behaviour of a number of cars who are forced to drive in a line. This law and the derivation of stability limits for the propagation of disturbances along a line of cars will be discussed.
