A very simple car-following rule is proposed wherein, if an nth vehicle is following an (n - I)th vehicle on a homogeneous highway, the time-space trajectory of the nth vehicle is essentially the same as the (n - I)th vehicle except for a translation in space and in time. It seems that such a rule is at least as accurate as any of the more elaborate rules of car-following that have been proposed over the last 50 years or so. Actually, the proposed model could be interpreted as a special case of existing models but with fewer parameters and a different logic. At least this should form a reasonable starting point for investigating other phenomena. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
