Nonlinear effects of saturation in the car-following model

Abstract The goal of this paper is to provide insight about the effect acceleration saturation in car-following model. In contribution, we consider a heterogeneous, mixed-traffic scenario which contains both human-driven and autonomous vehicles subjected time delays. Corresponding stability charts are provided from one can tune control parameters automated achieve smooth traffic flow. By taking into account saturation, it modifies global behaviour system reduces range optimal technological parameters. On demonstrative example, highlight complex dynamical phenomenon induced by attempt connect these nonlinear investigations engineering practice point out their relevance.
