ABSTRACT

In this paper we continue the bifurcation analysis on follow-the-leader trac models started in [6]. Two new aspects are included in the model: variable reaction time and aggressiveness of the drivers. Variable reaction time changes especially the periodic dynamics in the model. We show that more aggressiveness has a stabilizing effect on the trac flow.
