Abstract
This study develops a novel continuum model with consideration of the effect of electronic throttle (ET) dynamics to capture the behaviour of vehicles in traffic flow. In particular, the continuum model is proposed by incorporating the opening angle of ET based on the throttle-based full velocity difference model. Theoretical analyses including stability, negative velocity and shock wave are performed systematically. Numerical experiments and comparisons are conducted to verify the performance of the proposed continuum model. Results show that the steady-state performance of the proposed model is improved with respect to the stability. In addition, the proposed model is effective to rapidly dissipate the effect of external perturbation. Also, the phenomenon of negative velocity can be avoided by the proposed model.
