Some alternative driver models are proposed to mimic accelerating/decelerating behaviors of drivers particularly at curves and intersections. The models are calibrated against experimental data sets taken from car-following experiments conducted in a test track in Hokkaido, Japan. The position and speed data of vehicles were measured precisely using Real Time Kinematic (RTK) GPS receivers. The proposed models are validated against the General Motors (GM) model, a well-known car-following model. The comparison gave a clear advantage to the proposed mixed models over the other alternative models and the GM model, producing the lowest RMSE and highest correlation values.
