The Stability of Traffic Flow on Two Lanes Incorporating Driver’s Characteristics Corresponding to Honk Effect Under V2X Environment

In this paper, a new lattice model is proposed by considering the driver's characteristics incorporating the timid and aggressive behaviors corresponding to honk effect under V2X environment for two-lane highway. The linear stability condition is obtained through linear stability analysis, which shows that the driver's characteristics play important influences on traffic stability under honk environment in two-lane system. The important finding implies that the timid driver's characteristics are more beneficial to increase the traffic stability than the aggressive one's characteristics under honk environment for two-lane highway via numerical simulation.
