Abstract: In generally typical highway traffic scenario a vehicle, following vehicle ahead needs to maintain benign gap to avoid mishap. Accordingly speed of follower vehicle needs to be controlled keeping watch on variation of speed of vehicle ahead. In this paper a car follow model is designed and it is estimating the speed of follower vehicle with respect to that of vehicle ahead is presented. This paper brings out the details of mathematical equations of the proposed model along with implementation of same in Matlab Code as well using Simulink model.
Keywords: Position of vehicle ahead, Speed of follower vehicle, speed of lead car and Matlab Simulation.
