In this paper we propose an enhanced continuum model for traffic flow considering the effect of driver characteristics and traffic jerk. Based on the linear stability condition, the sufficient conditions of model stability is given. In the nonlinear stability analysis, we derive the KdV-Burger equation to describe the propagation characteristics of traffic density waves near the neutral stability curve. The simulation example verified that the driver characteristics and traffic jerk have a significant impact on the stability of the traffic flow and emissions. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V.
