In order to study the benifit of the Advanced Drive Vehicles
/Automatic Navigation & Control Enroute System-Freeway(
ADVANCE-F) and its feasibi- lity in traffic control,it is
necessary to develop a comprehensive understandings of
capacity and suitable headway of the system. With
overcrowded traffic scarious land, in Taiwan nowadays the tra-
ditional traffic control approaches are insuffici- ent to our
needs. On the purpose of using energe and land effectively,
the authorities should begin to engage in traffic automation
so as to incease land capacity and to give a new life to
loads. With advances in technology, the developed countr- ies
have made much efford tostudy Intelligent Vehicle/Highway
System(IVHS).The Advanced Vehicles Control System (AVCS) is one
of the topic in IVHS, which is the subject of thisstudy. The
focus of this study is on the longtudinal control ADVANCE-F.
We investigate the fitness of the car-following rules of
ADVANCE-F system and th e performance of the system under
different radios of navigation vehicles to non-navigation
vehicles . First, the car-following rules of ADVANCE-F are
discussed. Second, based on the adaptable traffic flow
parameters, characteristic of vehicle, a simu lation model is
constructed in Fortran language. Finally, the results of the
simulation study can provide us the information how well
the ADVANCE-F system performance and what are the
advantage and disadvantage of ADVANCE-F''s car- following
rules.
