Abstract: Bounded acceleration plays a critical role in safety, fuel consumption, vehicle emissions, and capacity drop in traffic flow. We present here equivalent second-order continuum and car-following models with bounded accelerations that encompass existing models, including the LWR model with bounded acceleration, Lebacque’s two-phase model, and the bounded acceleration version of Newell’s car-following model.
