Abstract

A digital computer simulation is used to investigate the dynamics of a train of unconnected vehicles. The study is particularly aimed at an understanding of the characteristics of automobile traffic flow an a major highway. The effects of driver delay time, nonlinearities in the driver response to inputs, and limitations on achievable accelerations are investigated.
