Abstract: Abstract The OV (optimal velocity) model for traffic successes in dynamical generating a traffic jam and in reproducing real data qualitatively. However, it has a problem on realistic driving simulation such as over shooting. We study the improvements of the OV model so that improvements keep the profile of the model as much as possible. We also apply the model to the problem of bottleneck traffic flow such as a tunnel.
