Abstract:This paper contributes to the vehicle-level analysis of two macroscopic features of the road traffic: capacity variability and capacity drop. This paper focuses only on car-following (CF) behavior and leaves the part related to lane-change maneuvers for future research. In particular, a simplistic CF model (Newell’s with bounded acceleration) for a single-lane scenario is studied. In this work, by introducing a speed limitation across a zone, a bottleneck with variable nominal capacity has been created. A cont… Show more
