Abstract
Through considering the connection between microscopic car-following model and macroscopic continuum model, a new viscous vehicular flow model is proposed, in which the viscosity coefficient is determined by a more realistic constitutive relationship between averaged reaction time of drivers and the car density. Further analysis indicates that two traffic sound speeds in this viscous model may determine the existence and the stability of traveling wave solutions with an analytical method.
