Abstract

In real traffic, the traffic system is usually composed of different types of vehicles, which have different parameters. How these parameters, especially the lengths of the vehicles, influence the traffic behaviors and transportation capability has seldom been investigated. In this paper, we study the mixed traffic system using the cellular automata traffic flow model. The simulation results show that when the road occupancy rate is large, increasing the fraction of long vehicles can apparently, improve the transportation capability. The influence of slow vehicles fraction on the average velocity of vehicles has been discussed, and it is found that the influences are very different when the difference of vehicle length is considered or not.
