Abstract: In this paper, an extended macro traffic flow model is proposed by considering the effects of the driver’s bounded rationality and behaviors (e.g., timid and aggressive). The linear stability condition of the model is obtained by linear theory. Through nonlinear analysis, the KdV-Burgers equation is derived, which can reproduce local clusters and stop-and-go waves in the different regions, respectively. Numerical results illustrated that timid behavior inhibit traffic stability, while the effects of driver’s route choice behavior and driver’s aggressive behavior will enhance traffic stability. Energy consumption is also explored according with above factors. Numerical results indicated that the driver’s bounded rationality and aggressive behavior can reduce energy consumption.
