Simulation and Analysis for Electric Bicycle Traffic Flow

Abstract

Keywords: traffic engineering, electric bicycle flow, lane changing rule, cellular automaton model. Abstract. The electric bicycle has become the main part of non motor vehicles in small and medium-sized cities. Research on the traffic flow characteristic of the electric bicycle has important practical significance. Based on NaSch model, this paper models electric bicycle traffic flow with CA model and improves the lane changing model. Then the electric bicycle lanes change into general lane change and whistle change, and corresponding lane changing rules are set up. Simulation analysis of the model is carried out. The results show that when the traffic density is small, whistling behavior to raise the road utilization rate has some effect, but in the high density, whistle behavior can not improve road traffic capacity.
