Abstract

<jats:p> The steady-state flow is examined for a car-following model in which the acceleration at time t of a car attempting to follow a lead car is proportional to the relative velocity at a time t − Δ and in which the sensitivity λ is no longer taken constant as in previous work but is inversely proportional to the car spacing. The characteristics of the steady-state flow for this model are described and compared with experimental data. </jats:p>
