Abstract
A microscopic theory of spatial–temporal congested traffic patterns in heterogeneous traffic flow with a variety of driver behavioural characteristics and vehicle parameters is presented. A microscopic model for heterogeneous traffic flow is developed based on three-phase traffic theory. Diverse congested pattern features at a freeway bottleneck due to an on-ramp in heterogeneous traffic flow on a two-lane freeway are found. A numerical study of these specific pattern features and their comparison with empirical results are performed. A comparison of congested patterns in heterogeneous traffic flow with congested patterns in traffic flow with identical vehicles is made.
