Car-collowing models

Comparison of three car-following models with respect to their stability.

Pipes (Louis A. Pipes 1953)

Optimal-Velocity-Modell (OVM) (Masako Bando et al. 1995)

with a reaction time T^r>0.

Full-Velocity-Difference-Modell (FVDM) (Rui Jiang et al. 2001)

with T^r, T^r_2>0 two relaxation constants.

Local and global stability

Usage

• Download NetLogo and open the nlogo-file.
• Adapt the number of agents Nb-peds and click on Setup
• Move to start the simulation

You can change the parameters while the simulation is running. However, when the number of agents is changes, you need to Setup again.
