Feedback Control of the Car Following Model Considering the Effect of Traffic Jerk

Abstract

In order to restrain the traffic jerk, the stability of OVJM model is studied. Firstly, based on the classical control theory, the necessary and sufficient condition of the traffic jams will not appear is given, when the above conditions are not satisfied, with the speed difference information between the current vehicle and ahead vehicle, we design a new feedback controller, meanwhile we give the control procedure. Finally, the simulation example verifies that the designed controller in suppress traffic congestion is feasible and effective.
