“…Fog is caused by the difference between air temperature and dew point, and consists of small droplets suspended in the air near the surface [3]. When fog forms on the surface, it appears as a cloud that reduces visibility and can lead to accidents on roads that are typically safe [1]. Reduced visibility increases the risk of rear‐end crashes and multiple vehicle collisions [4], and results in long traffic queues that take more time to dissipate [5].…”

The impact of fog on visibility is a major factor affecting traffic congestion and safety. This paper proposes a microscopic traffic model that captures the features of traffic in foggy weather and characterizes it based on visibility. The intelligent driver (ID) model is based on a constant acceleration exponent and produces similar traffic behaviour for all conditions, which is unrealistic. The performance of the ID and proposed models is evaluated on a 2.2 km ring road for 250 s with a platoon of 51 vehicles. Results are presented which show that the proposed model characterizes traffic realistically with lower acceleration and deceleration compared to the ID model. Further, it does not create stop‐and‐go waves and is stable even during foggy weather. The proposed model can be used to reduce fuel consumption and pollution resulting from traffic congestion.
