A Sigmoid-based car-following model to improve acceleration stability in traffic oscillation and following failure in free flow

3 Sep 2023  ·  Xingyu Chen, Haijian Bai ·

This paper proposes an improved Intelligent driving model (Sigmoid-IDM) to address the problems of excessive acceleration in traffic oscillation and following failure in free flow. The Sigmoid-IDM uses a Sigmoid function to enhance the start-following characteristics, improve the output strategy of the spacing term, and stabilize the steady-state velocity in free flow. Moreover, the model asymmetry is improved by means of introducing cautious following distance, driving caution factor, and segmentation function. The anti-interference ability of the Sigmoid-IDM is demonstrated by local stability and string stability analyses.
