Abstract

This paper attempts to reproduce the empirical phenomena of congested traffic flow with an on-ramp through a microscopic traffic model. First, an improved two-lane lattice hydrodynamic traffic flow model is proposed, which is capable of avoiding vehicles backward moving in original lattice hydrodynamic model. Then, the deterministic and stochastic on-ramps are designed and mapped into the new lattice model to reproduce the empirical phenomena. For the stochastic case, many empirical congested patterns are reproduced, such as moving localized cluster, triggered stop-and-go traffic (TSG), pinned localized cluster (PLC), oscillating congested traffic (OCT) and homogeneous congested traffic. For the deterministic case, a number of combination patterns of HST, PLC, TSG and OCT are found. Taken together, these results suggest that the present model is able to predict the congested traffic patterns.
