...Wenhuan Ai; Zheng Qing Lei; Li Danyang; Jingming Zeng; Dawei Liu Purpose Highway traffic systems are complex and variable, and studying the bifurcation characteristics of traffic flow systems and designing control schemes for unstable bifurcation points can alleviate traffic congestion from a new...

...Ting Wang; Rongjun Cheng; Hongxia Ge Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the impact of the mixed traffic flow, self-stabilization effect and the lane changing behavior on traffic flow stability. Design/methodology/approach An extended two-lane lattice hydrodynamic model considering...

...Xinyue Qi; Rongjun Cheng; Hongxia Ge Purpose This study aims to consider the influence of density difference integral and relative flow difference on traffic flow, a novel two-lane lattice hydrodynamic model is proposed. The stability criterion for the new model is obtained through the linear...

.../methodology/approach The control method is applied to study the stability of the new model. Through nonlinear analysis, the mKdV equation representing kink-antikink soliton is acquired. Findings The predictive effect and the control signal can enhance the traffic flow stability and reduce the energy...

... as a result of spontaneous deviations of headway and velocity that is caused by the acceleration/breaking rate to be higher than the critical value. Dissipative dynamics of traffic flow can be represented within the framework of the Lorenz scheme based on the car-following model in the one-lane highway...
