Moving Light Guide System for the purpose of the speed control by the blinking of plural LED panels attracts attention as a traffic jam measures for the traffic concentration at the incline change point of the expressway. Increase of the flow rate or decrease of the traffic jam quantity are confirmed indeed. However, there are few studies about the influence that a change of the following behavior and also a change of the whole traffic state with the Moving Light Guide System. Influence on whole traffic state by the introduction of the Moving Light Guide System is analyzed for the purpose of clarifying the effect of the introduction after having considered the change of following behavior in this study. Specifically, it was supposed that following behavior was different in having setting or not of the Moving Light Guide System, and the comparison of the traffic state was done by micro traffic simulation experiments based on different following models calibrated by actual survey data on road with or without the Moving Light Guide System.
