Abstract: Abstract A non-lane-based macro model is proposed by considering the lateral separation effects of the lane width in traffic flow on the basis of car-following model. The extended model can improve the stability of traffic flow. Numerical simulation also shows that the proposed macro model can enhance flux of traffic flow and reproduce the evolution of shock and rarefaction waves by incorporating the lane width effects. In addition, the lateral separation effects have greatly important impacts on equilibrium solution of uniform traffic flow in macro models.
