Abstract

Various macroscopic and microscopic road traffic models allow traffic flow analysis. However, it should be emphasised that standard traffic flow models do not include drivers’ behaviour. Thus, we propose a multi-agent microscopic model for analysing the traffic flow considering the various type of agents. Agents represent both autonomous cars and various drivers’ behaviour (standard and aggressive drivers). Additionally, the presented model is based on accurate data, because it considers the actual dimensions of the vehicles. To accurately reflect the acquired dimensions of the cars, a small cell cellular automaton was used, where a set of cells represents one car. The obtained numerical results allowed us to bring both trivial and non-trivial conclusions.
