A New Car-Following Model: As Stochastic Process using Multi Agent System

In recent years, the research in topic of car-following has become an increased importance in traffic engineering and safety driving. Various theories attempt to describe the vehicular traffic flow process and the interaction between adjacent vehicles in the same lane. In this paper we present a new model for car-following models, which integrates some real-life factors that need to be considered, such as the random reaction time of each car. Our architecture is based on the combination of Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) and a stochastic model to capture the randomness of individual agent (car). which are able to react according to the real situation of the network. The obtained results illustrate that using the randomness in the reaction of agents enhance greatly the performance of simulation
