Abstract

Transportation and traffic affect all the aspects of everyday life. To better understand traffic dynamics traffic models are developed. On microscopic level, car-following models are developed and improved during long period of time. They are used in traffic simulation tools or are the basis for operation in some advanced vehicle systems. Car-following models describe traffic dynamics through movement of individual vehicle-driver units. This paper compares Gipps model and Intelligent Driver Model (IDM) as car-following models based on driving strategies. These models are derived based on assumptions such as keeping safe distance from the leading vehicle, driving at a desired speed and producing accelerations within a comfortable range. The models are implemented and simulated in MATLAB environment and the results are discussed in terms of the ability to reproduce real driving behaviour in car following scenarios.
