Abstract
This study proposes a new car-following (CF) model considering the effect of visual angle under the non-lane-discipline environment. In particular, a car-following model is proposed to capture the impacts from the visual angle of the driver between the following vehicle and the preceding vehicle as well as its change rate on a road without lane discipline. Stability analysis of the proposed CF model is performed using the perturbation method to obtain the stability condition. Numerical experiments analyze three scenarios: start process, stop process, and evolution process for lane-discipline-based FVD model, non-lane-discipline-based CF model with lateral gap, and the proposed model, respectively. Results from numerical experiments illustrate that the proposed CF model that considers the effects of both lateral gap and visual angle has larger stable region compared with FVD model and the NLBCF model. Also, the responsiveness and smoothness of the proposed CF model is improved with respect to the velocity, and acceleration or deceleration profiles.
