Abstract

In this work we introduce the Necessary-Deceleration-Model (NDM) which is a car-following-model developed to investigate driving behavior of bicycles. For this purpose the derivation of the mathematical description of the NDM is investigated. For the sake of calibration and validation of the model, several experiments are performed. The results of the experiments are presented and examined. Finally, the limits and possibilities of the NDM are discussed.

Acknowledgements

We would like to thank Wolfgang Mehner and Maik Boltes working at Jülich Research Center for filming and extracting the trajectories of the bicycle experiments dated on 6th May 2012. Furthermore we would like to thank all the participants and helpers who were involved at the bicycle experiments and remain disciplined, so that excellent results of the experimental runs could be achieved.
