Abstract
This paper reviews the car-following model for road vehicle traffic flow, describes the advantages and disadvantages of these models; and based on the research of the effects of drivers’ behavior including drivers’ disturbance risk preference heterogeneity and drivers’ rear view behavior depending on complex real traffic situations on traffic flow instability, which have been researched by the authors, discusses the reality conformity of some model assumptions and proposes some new insights and views about the car-following model.
