Abstract: In this paper, we propose a new technique to control the vehicle states in two-lane traffic. A type of the control signals has been designated at a given site (i.e., signal point) of the road. Under the effect of control signal, the drivers on the right lane will slow down when their vehicles pass the signal point. We test this technique for the two-lane traffic model that is based on the deterministic NaSch traffic model. The simulation results indicate that the traffic flow states can be changed from disorder to order by the control signal, and these ordered states are safer.
