Abstract:

We propose two new microscopic traffic models. The first one is an extension of the Intelligent Driver Model (IDM) by Martin Treiber and provides the prescribed distance in a steady-state flow. The second model is described by delay-differential equations and takes into account the reaction-time delay of drivers. The stability of new models about the equilibrium is studied analytically. The calibration approach is proposed for both new models.
