Abstract

Car-following theory has been developed as a mathematical description of traffic flow on long, straight highways in dense flow conditions. This theory, consisting of a body of over 30 models, provides a conceptual basis for understanding traffic phenomena, permits analysis of safety considerations, allows a determination of highway capacity, and provides a basis for automatic control of vehicles.
