Traffic anticipation effect in the lattice hydrodynamic model

Abstract

A lattice hydrodynamic model is proposed by incorporating the anticipation effect. The linear and nonlinear methods are used to analyze the model, and the results show that considering "backward looking" effect leads to the stabilization of the system. Numerical simulation confirms that our model is more reasonable for describing the real traffic flow. © 2009 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
