An extended car-following model under V2V communication environment and its delayed-feedback control

An improved car-following model is presented under V2V communication situation, in which the effect of two successive vehicles in front is taken into account. The control signal including the velocity difference between the considered vehicle and the target vehicle is taken into account. In addition, the delayed two-velocity difference is introduced. The stability condition for the extended model is derived by feedback control method. The energy consumption of the extended model is also studied. The results of numerical simulations illustrate that the control signal not only suppresses traffic jam, but also depresses the energy consumption, which are consistent with the theoretical analysis.
