Abstract

In this paper, we studied the effect of driver’s anticipation with passing in a new lattice model. The effect of driver’s anticipation is examined through linear stability analysis and shown that the anticipation term can significantly enlarge the stability region on the phase diagram. Using nonlinear stability analysis, we obtained the range of passing constant for which kink soliton solution of mKdV equation exist. For smaller values of passing constant, uniform flow and kink jam phase are present on the phase diagram and jamming transition occurs between them. When passing constant is greater than the critical value depending on the anticipation coefficient, jamming transitions occur from uniform traffic flow to kink-bando traffic wave through chaotic phase with decreasing sensitivity. The theoretical findings are verified using numerical simulation which confirm that traffic jam can be suppressed efficiently by considering the anticipation effect in the new lattice model.
