Abstract
The optimal velocity (OV) model has been recognized as being effective for simulating traffic congestion. In this study, the ACC system is designed to attenuate traffic congestions. The OV model is improved for more precise modelling of the traffic congestions, then, a novel ACC logic design method is developed based on the investigation of the OV model. Various mixed flows are numerically simulated, and the results demonstrate their attenuation effects of the traffic congestion.
