Application of classical micromodels of follow-the-leader theory in modelling road traffic

Abstract

The article presents an analysis of a mathematical nonlinear model of following a leader vehicle in a traffic flow for the purpose of rational organization of traffic on the city road network. Based on classical micromodels of the follow-the-leader theory, the authors propose mathematical expressions for calculating accelerations, speeds, and distances for a follower vehicle in a traffic flow, taking into account the time shift associated with the driver's reaction time. Graphs of the dependences of these parameters on the time of vehicle movement are obtained. A mathematical dependence is proposed that establishes a connection between the accelerations of the leader and follower vehicles in the analyzed traffic pattern
