Abstract: In order to describe staggered car following behavior more actually, a novel car following model based on full velocity difference (FVD) model by incorporating the visual angle was proposed. The rate of change of the lateral separation angle is as a key parameter to describe the effect of lateral separation distance. The stability condition of the model was obtained by using the linear stability theory. Then the property of the model was investigated by theoretical analysis and numerical simulation. The results imply that the lateral separation makes the stability of the proposed model smaller and the stop and go traffic formed easily. The above findings have great practical significance to improve stability of traffic flow and to analyze car-following characteristics considering the lateral movement.

Key words: Transportation system engineering, Car following model, Visual angle, Lateral separation
