Adaptive-AR Model with Drivers’ Prediction for Traffic Simulation by Xuequan Lu, Mingliang Xu, Wenzhi Chen, Zonghui Wang, Abdennour El Rhalibi

“…We present a novel model called A2R—“Adaptive-AR”—based on a well-known continuum-based model called AR Aw and Rascle (2000) for the simulation of vehicle traffic flows. However, in the standard continuum-based model, vehicles usually follow the flows passively, without taking into account drivers' behavior and effectiveness. …”
