Abstract
A new two-lane traffic lattice hydrodynamic model is proposed with the consideration of the global average-and-optimal flux difference effect based on the local relative flux two-lane lattice model. First, the influence of the global average-and-optimal flux difference on the stability of traffic flow is investigated through linear stability theory. The results reveal that the unstable region will be shrunk by taking the global average-and-optimal flux difference effect into account. Additionally, by using the reductive perturbation method, the mKdV equation near the critical point is derived and traffic jam transition can be described by its kink–antikink soliton solution. The good agreement between the numerical simulations and the analytical results shows that traffic congestion can be suppressed efficiently by considering the global average-and-optimal flux difference and the local relative flux effects in two-lane traffic system and the local relative flux is more important than the global average-and-optimal flux difference in stabilizing traffic flow.
