Abstract: In order to describe staggered car following behavior in real traffic environment, a novel car following model was proposed based on Full Velocity Difference (FVD) model by incorporating the visual angle. The rate of change of the lateral separation angle is taken as a key parameter to describe the effect of lateral separation distance. The stability condition of the model was obtained using the linear stability theory. Then the characteristic of the model was investigated by theoretical analysis and numerical simulation. Results show that the lateral separation leads the stability of the proposed model smaller and the easy formation of stop and go traffic. The above findings have great practical significance to improve the stability of traffic flow and analyze car-following characteristics considering the lateral movement.

Key words: engineering of communications and transportation system, car following model, visual angle, lateral separation
