A New Lattice Model of Two-Lane Trafc Flow with the Consideration of the Honk Efect

In this paper,a new lattice model of two-lane trafc flow with the honk efect term is proposed to study the influence of the honk efect on wide moving jams under lane changing.The linear stability condition on two-lane highway is obtained by applying the linear stability theory.The modified Korteweg-de Vries(KdV)equation near the critical point is derived and the coexisting curves resulted from the modified KdV equation can be described,which shows that the critical point,the coexisting curve and the neutral stability line decrease with increasing the honk efect coefcient.A wide moving jam can be conceivably described approximately in the unstable region.Numerical simulation is performed to verify the analytic results.The results show that the honk efect could suppress efectively the congested trafc patterns about wide moving jam propagation in lattice model of two-lane trafc flow.
