Stability Analysis Of Car-following Model Research Articles

LYAPUNOV STABILITY ANALYSIS BASED ON AN IMPROVED OV MODEL.

The stability analysis of car-following model is an important content in the research process of car-following model. The stability analysis method based on an improved OV model was carried out. Different from the traditional linear stability analysis, the Lyapunov stability analysis of the improved OV car-following model was proposed from the perspective of control theory, and the theoretical derivation was given. The results show that, the stability analysis of the model using Lyapunov stability analysis method is consistent with Lyapunov theory. Therefore, the effectiveness of the Lyapunov stability analysis method is verified.

Stability analysis of car-following model on straight and curved roads considering the preceding vehicle’s velocity feedback control

In order to reveal the impact of preceding vehicle’s velocity on traffic flow, an extended car-following model considering preceding vehicle’s velocity feedback control is proposed in this paper. The linear stability criterion of the new model is derived through control theory method and it shows that the feedback control signal impacts the stability of traffic flow. Numerical simulation results is in good agreement with the theoretical analysis, which prove that a smaller negative feedback control of the preceding vehicle’s velocity can enhance the stability of traffic flow, while a smaller positive feedback control of the preceding vehicle’s velocity can exacerbate traffic congestion. Moreover, the reaction coefficients of straight and curved road conditions also play an important role in the stability of traffic flow.
