An Improved Car-Following Model in Vehicle Networking Based on Network Control

Abstract EN

Vehicle networking is a system to realize information interoperability between vehicles and people, vehicles and roads, vehicles and vehicles, and cars and transport facilities, through the network information exchange, in order to achieve the effective monitoring of the vehicle and traffic flow.

Realizing information interoperability between vehicles and vehicles, which can affect the traffic flow, is an important application of network control system (NCS).

In this paper, a car-following model using vehicle networking theory is established, based on network control principle.

The car-following model, which is an improvement of the traditional traffic model, describes the traffic in vehicle networking condition.

The impact that vehicle networking has on the traffic flow is quantitatively assessed in a particular scene of one-way, no lane changing highway.

The examples show that the capacity of the road is effectively enhanced by using vehicle networking.
