Abstract: In this paper, we use the speed-gradient model proposed by Jianget al.[Transp. Res. B36, 405 (2002)] to study the effects that various perturbations have on the stability of traffic flow. Our numerical tests show that the effects of perturbations on the stability of traffic flow are related to the initial density, i.e., when the initial density is very low(ρ0≤ 0.02)or very high(ρ0> 0.08), any perturbation has little effect on the stability of traffic flow; when the initial density is relatively low(0.02
