Abstract: In this paper, we propose a car-following model to explore the influences of V2V communication on the driving behavior at un-signalized intersections with two crossing streams and to explore how the speed guidance strategy affects the operation efficiency. The numerical results illustrate that the benefits of the guidance strategy could be enhanced by lengthening the guiding space range and increasing the maximum speed limitation, and that the guidance strategy is more suitable under low to medium traffic density and small safety interval condition.
