1 BBCR Group meeting Fri. 25 th Nov, 2011 VEHICULAR TRAFFIC FLOW MODELS AN OVERVIEW Khadige Abboud
2 Outline Introduction VANETs Why we need to know traffic flow theories Traffic flow models Microscopic Macroscopic Mesoscopic Summary
3 Introduction Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) Vehicles with communication capabilities. Road side units (RSUs) Dedicated short range communications (DSRC) channels. V2V / V2I communications. Safety and infotainment applications
4 Introduction cont. Mobility is one of the major issues in VANETs Nodes move with high speeds Dependent on drivers behaviour and interactions with other vehicles Susceptible for variable traffic density from time-to-time and from point-to-point on the same roads. Vehicles movement is not completely random. What is the right mobility model?
5 Introduction cont. Study the VANET structure: vehicular traffic. Traffic flow models civil engineering literature. Very rich literature. The proposed traffic flow models are categorized according to the level of details they model into Microscopic Mesoscopic - Macroscopic
6 Microscopic level Details: vehicle s behaviour and its interaction with leading vehicle(s) is individually modelled. Car following models "keeping a safe distance ahead". Pipe s rule [1] "A good rule for following another vehicle at a safe distance is to allow yourself at least the length of a car between you and the vehicle ahead for every ten miles an hour of speed at which you are travelling [1] A. D. May, Traffic flow fundamentals vol. Englewood Cliffs, N.J.: Prentice Hall, 1990.
7 Microscopic- cont. Forbe s Theory [1] Reaction time GM Model [1] response=func(sensitivity (θ), stimuli) a i t + Δt = θ v i+1 t v i t Multi-Anticipative [2] interaction with N nodes ahead Limitations of car-following models [3] vehicle not always in a following mode Cellular Automata (CA) models [4] CA-Markov Models [5] [2] H. Lenza, et El, Multi-anticipative car-following model The European Physical Journal B - Condensed Matter and Complex Systems, Vol. 7, No. 2,pp , 1999 [3] T Luttinen. Statistical properties of vehicle time headways. Transportation Research Record, (1365), [4] K. Nagel and M. Schreckenberg. A cellular automaton model for freeway traffic.

IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems, 11(4): , 2010
8 Macroscopic level Details: aggregate behaviour (flow) This level is important for deciding traffic flow state. (Average) Density- speed-flow relations D = F V Density disruptions [6] [6] C. F. Daganzo On the macroscopic stability of freeway traffic Transportation Research Part B: Methodological, Vol. 45, No. 5, pp , June 2011
9 Macroscopic level-cont. Density Level of Flow conditions (veh/ml/lane) Service 0-12 A Free-flow B Reasonable free-flow Uncongested flow conditions C Stable D Borders on unstable E Extremely unstable flow Near-capacity flow conditions F Forced or breakdown Congested flow conditions >100 Incident situation [1] A. D. May, Traffic flow fundamentals vol. Englewood Cliffs, N.J.: Prentice Hall, 1990.
10 Mesoscopic level Details: Does not trace individual vehicles, but models behaviour of individuals. Time headway distributions Vehicles enter the highway according to a renewal process The time headways (inter-arrival times of vehicles) are i.i.d.
11 Mesoscopic level- cont. Time headway: low traffic flow conditions (exponential distribution) f T t = λe λt, t 0 High traffic flow conditions (normal distribution) f T t = 1 2π σ e t μ 2 2σ 2, t α μ = 1 λ, = 1 F suggested: σ = μ α 2 [1] A. D. May, Traffic flow fundamentals vol. Englewood Cliffs, N.J.: Prentice Hall, 1990.
12 Mesoscopic level- cont. Intermediate traffic flow conditions Composite models A combination of normal distribution and shifted exponential. Very hard to tune. General distribution Pearson Type III (λ, k, α) f T (t) = λk Γ(k) (t α)k 1 e λ(t α) k = μ α 2 λ = μ α σ 2 σ 2 t > α
13 Mesoscopic- Cont. Distance headways are more important to VANETs. Low traffic density ~ exponential (constant velocity) High traffic density ~Normal () [7] proposes that the use of exponential distribution for both distance and time headway for any traffic density. [8] shows that log-normal distribution (or more generally Γ distribution) fits the pdf of the time headways. The empirical pdfs of distance headways for different traffic flow conditions is also shown (not exponential) [7] F. Bai, B. Krishnamachari, Spatio-Temporal Variations of Vehicle Traffic in VANETs: Facts and Implications, In Proc. of ACM international workshop on VehiculAr InterNETworking(VANET 09), pp , [8] X. Chen, L. Li, and Y. Zhang. A markov model for headway/spacing distribution of road traffic, IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems, 11(4): , 2010 [8]
14 Summary We went over some of the vehicular traffic flow models in literature. Different models reveal different levels of details of the behaviour of vehicles (Microscopic, macroscopic and mesoscopic) According to empirical data fitting, different headway distribution is suggested for different traffic flow state. Although exponential distance headway distribution is widely used in VANET literature, it is not valid for high and intermediate traffic flow conditions. The choice of vehicular traffic flow model is important for VANET analysis.
