Evaluation on Car-Following Models Based on Real Data

In this paper, we use real data to evaluate some typical car-following models such as SRM, SDM, Newell model, improved Newell model and FLRVM. We collected these data by using video camera. The models with fitted parameters are validated by using not only the uncongested traffic data but also congested traffic data. It can be seen that models with more parameters, such as SRM and SDM can mimic real traffic accurately.
