Abstract: Abstract This article looks at car-following models from a deliberately pragmatic perspective: What information about driver behavior can be extracted from a given data set without more or less speculative assumptions about underlying behavioral laws? The objective of this exercise is not to invalidate existing models but to obtain a better understanding of how much (complex) model structure can be revealed/validated from real data.
