Abstract: This document summarizes the microscopic traffic simulation models used in the project entitled Using Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) to Form High-Performance Vehicle Streams. The major components of the microscopic traffic model include the vehicle dispatching model, human driver model and ACC/CACC model. The vehicle dispatching model determines how a modeled vehicle enters the simulation network and the distribution of different types of vehicles across the multi-lane highway. The human driver model and ACC/CACC model specify the car following and lane changing behaviors of the human drivers and ACC/CACC equipped drivers, respectively. The proposed models can capture drivers’ specific behaviors as the traffic management strategies are activated.
