Car-following regime:

Finally, if a vehicle has a headway between tex2html_wrap_inline3080 and tex2html_wrap_inline3068 , it is in the car-following regime. In this case the acceleration rate is calculated based on Herman's general car-following model [Herman et al.(1959)]:

where tex2html_wrap_inline3102, tex2html_wrap_inline3104 and tex2html_wrap_inline3106 are model parameters. tex2html_wrap_inline3108 , tex2html_wrap_inline3110, tex2html_wrap_inline3112 are used for accelerating (tex2html_wrap_inline3114), and tex2html_wrap_inline3116 , tex2html_wrap_inline3118 , tex2html_wrap_inline3120 for decelerating ( tex2html_wrap_inline3122 ) cases. Default values for these parameters are based on [Subramanian(1996)] and listed in Table C.8.
