Abstract: The influence of the continuous delayed optimal flow on traffic stability is studied based on a new traffic lattice hydrodynamic model in this paper. Linear analysis derives the model’s linear stable condition and it shows that the stability of traffic flow is enhanced by considering the continuous delayed optimal flow. Also the feature of the unstable traffic flow is uncovered by the solution of the mKdV equation with nonlinear analysis. Finally, numerical simulation is carried out to intuitively show the stabilization effect of the continuous delayed optimal flow on traffic flow and the continuous delayed optimal flow should be considered in traffic theory.
