In a simulation experiment on a single lane road, one vehicle is travelling at 18 m/s.After 1.5seconds, the vehicle suddenly accelerates at a rate of 1.5 m/s2 for the next2 seconds and remains0 acceleration then after. Simulate the behavior of subsequent vehicle with an initial speedof16 m/s using GM car following model for the first 3 seconds if the initial distanceheadwayis 20 m. Tabulate the results. Assume headway exponent 1.2, speed exponent1.5, sensitivitycoefficient 0.8, reaction time 0.6 seconds, and update interval of0.3 seconds.

Question

 In a simulation experiment on a single lane road, one vehicle is travelling at 18 m/s.After 1.5
seconds, the vehicle suddenly accelerates at a rate of 1.5 m/s2 for the next2 seconds and remains
0 acceleration then after. Simulate the behavior of subsequent vehicle with an initial speed
of16 m/s using GM car following model for the first 3 seconds if the initial distanceheadway
is 20 m. Tabulate the results. Assume headway exponent 1.2, speed exponent1.5, sensitivity
coefficient 0.8, reaction time 0.6 seconds, and update interval of0.3 seconds.
