| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study discusses an effect of "atmosphere" shared with neighboring drivers in traffic flow to model and mitigate bottleneck phenomena in access-controlled section. First, traffic flow is modeled as exchange interaction in time headway instead of modeling car-following behavior based on homogenous traffic flow data collected by a driving simulator. Second, Hierarchical Bayesian Estimation is applied to estimation of robustness of exchange interaction in time headway. Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods and Type-II maximum likelihood estimation method are implemented for the estimation. As a result, the interaction in time headways in chronological order dominates in other interactions such as those of successive cars. Finally, a measure for improvement of discharge flow rate is tested. In the experiment, an effect of acceleration of neighboring cars is measured by a driving simulator. Some drivers steadily follow the leader in case of high acceleration rate of neighboring cars.
