Abstract: The steady-state flow is examined for a car-following model in which the acceleration at time t of a car attempting to follow a lead car is proportional to the relative velocity at a time t - (Delta) and in which the sensitivity (lambda) is no longer taken constant as in previous work but is inversely proportional to the car spacing. The characteristics of the steady-state flow for this model are described and compared with experimental data.
