Abstract: Abstract We have conducted an experiment to demonstrate “jam-absorption driving”, which is a method of driving with a single car to avoid being entangled in a jam by changing its headway and velocity dynamically. We used real cars on a circuit. In the experiment, the car doing jam-absorption driving takes a long headway in advance before a jam comes. We draw a time-space diagram and it is found the jam can be removed by this driving method.
