Abstract

Considering longitudinal spatial deviations from expected referenced equilibrium point (plan), a new two dimensional (2-d) optimal velocity function considering driver’s nonlinear adjustment effect is presented. We call it as super desired velocity, simplified as SDV. Unlike existing optimal velocity (OV) which is based on the absolute headway, SDV is dependent on referenced equilibrium headway, namely based on the relative headway. They are composed of two parts: desired velocity term and nonlinear adjustment term to reach the desired velocity value. The performance of new optimal velocity model is illustrated in detail by numerical simulation methods. The numerical simulation results show that SDV can model driver’s nonlinear anticipation better than the existing models.
