Abstract: Based on the full velocity difference car-following model, an improved car-following model is put forward by considering the driver’s desired inter-vehicle distance. The stability conditions are obtained by applying the control method. The results of theoretical analysis are used to demonstrate the advantages of our model. Numerical simulations are used to show that traffic congestion can be improved as the desired inter-vehicle distance is considered in the full velocity difference car-following model.
