Abstract
The Kerner-Klenov-Wolf (KKW) three-phase cellular automaton model has a nonrealistic velocity of the upstream front in widening synchronized flow pattern which separates synchronized flow downstream and free flow upstream. This paper presents an improved model, which is a combination of the initial KKW model and a modified Nagel-Schreckenberg (MNS) model. In the improved KKW model, a parameter is introduced to determine the vehicle moves according to the MNS model or the initial KKW model. The improved KKW model can not only simulate the empirical observations as the initial KKW model, but also overcome the nonrealistic velocity problem. The mechanism of the improvement is discussed.
