Abstract

Vehicular honk behavior is not uncommon in real traffic. Meanwhile, with the advent of sensors and communication technology, the real-time traffic state can be readily available to drivers. With such information, drivers can estimate the future traffic status and take countermeasures in advance. In this study, we propose a new lattice hydrodynamic model by jointly considering the vehicular honk and driver’s predictive effect. In the linear stability analysis section, neutral stability curve of the model is given, and the modified Korteweg de Vries (mKdV) equation is obtained in nonlinear stability analysis. The kink–antikink soliton solution is obtained by solving the above mKdV equation, which can be used to describe the phase transition of the traffic flow near the critical point. Results show that the honk and the driver’s predictive effect contribute to the traffic flow stability.
