Abstract
The vehicle nudging principle describes how a vehicle in the traffic flow induces a ‘pushing effect’ to its preceding vehicle. When combined with the traditional vehicle-following behaviour, the nudging principle enables bidirectional inter-vehicle interactions (look-ahead-and-behind). Unfortunately, despite numerical examples and traffic simulators indicating that nudging may improve the traffic flow, such results use artificially engineered scenarios. By using the NGSIM real-world traffic data sets, this work suggests that the nudging effect is a part of human-driven traffic as well, and can be suitably identified.
