A Sigmoid-based car-following model to improve acceleration stability in traffic oscillation and following failure in free flow [PDF]
This paper proposes an improved Intelligent driving model (Sigmoid-IDM) to address the problems of excessive acceleration in traffic oscillation and following failure in free flow. The Sigmoid-IDM uses a Sigmoid function to enhance the start-following characteristics, improve the output strategy of the spacing term, and stabilize the steady-state ...
