Abstract: To prevent traffic congestion, drivers always adjust the driving behavior with their driving information. By considering the self-anticipation effect and the optimal current difference effect on traffic flow stability, a novel two-lane lattice hydrodynamic model is proposed. Compared with Peng’s model, the linear stability analysis results reveal that the self-anticipation term can effectively enlarge the stable region on the phase diagram. Then, a reductive perturbation method is used to derive the mKdV equation describing traffic congestion near the critical point. Nonlinear analyses show that the traffic congestions can be effectively suppressed by taking the coefficient of lane-changing behaviors γ and the anticipation time τ into account. These results further indicate that the driver’s self-anticipation current difference effect can efficiently alleviate traffic jams. Furthermore, the numerical simulations with periodic boundary conditions also confirm the effectiveness of theoretical results.
