Flow difference effect in the two-lane lattice hydrodynamic model

By introducing a flow difference effect, a modified lattice two-lane traffic flow model is proposed, which is proved to be capable of improving the stability of traffic flow. Both the linear stability condition and the kink-antikink solution derived from the modified Korteweg-de Vries (mKdV) equation are analyzed. Numerical simulations verify the theoretical analysis. Furthermore, the evolution laws under different disturbances in the metastable region are studied.
