| Abstract: | The integral part of the optimal velocity car-following models is the optimal velocity function (OVF), which can be derived
from measured velocity-spacing data. This paper discusses several characteristics of the OVF and presents regression analysis
on two classical datasets, the Lincoln and Holland tunnels, with different possible OVFs. The numerical simulation of the
formation of traffic congestion is conducted with three different heuristic OVFs, demonstrating that these functions give
results similar to those of the famous Bando OVF (Bando et al., 1995). Also an alternative method is present for determining the sensitivity and model parameters based on a single car
driving to a fixed barrier. |
