An extended lattice hydrodynamic model with time delay based on non-lane discipline

Abstract

An extended lattice hydrodynamic model with time delay is proposed under non-lane discipline. We try to grasp the impacts of the non-lane discipline of the considered lattice sites. Linear stability analysis of the proposed model is executed and the stability criterion is obtained. Using the reductive perturbation method, we investigate nonlinear analysis of the proposed model and derive the mKdV equation and its solution, which could reveal the propagation of density waves. We analyze the effect of time delay, the ratio of lane deviation and the control coefficient on the stability of traffic flow via numerical experiments. We find that those indices play an important role in the stability of traffic flow. The longer the time delay, the more unstable the system becomes. Also, the ratio of lane deviation and the control coefficient is able to more quickly dissipate the traffic congestions occurring in traffic flow.
