Abstract: Abstract We propose and study a one-dimensional traffic flow cellular automaton (CA) model of high speed vehicles with rapid acceleration for all cars as in the FukuiIshibashi (FI) model and with stochastic delay applying only to the cars following the trail of the ahead car. The main difference comparing to the Nagel-Schreckenberg (NS) model is that a car with spacing ahead longer than the car velocity limit M is not delayed in the new model. By using a spacing-oriented mean field theory, we derive a set of equations describing the fundamental diagram, which gives the average speed as a function of the car density, for any high velocity limit M.Our theoretical results are in excellent agreement with numerical simulation.
