A simple yet efficient traffic flow model, in particular one that describes vehicle longitudinal operational control and further characterizes the traffic flow fundamental diagram, is always desirable. Though many models have been proposed in the past, with each having its merits, research in this area is far from conclusive. This chapter introduces a new model—that is, the longitudinal control model (LCM)—with a unique set of properties to the arsenal. The model is suited for a variety of transportation applications, among which a concrete example is provided. |
